After working for many years in a “fast pace environment” I can’t help but notice that I have increasing difficulties to do simple tasks.
How many years are we talking?
A lot of what you describe sounds like you’re starting to have “senior moments”. If you’re past 50, that’s pretty normal. Which is not to say it’s good. “Normal” does not mean good. It just means common. I don’t think you should look for anything exotic if the mundane explanation fits your observations.
Low-tech suggestion: Keep a notepad in your pocket. Make to-do lists. Cross items off it when you’re done. Maybe put the time in when you cross it off.

That would be 15+ years
Thanks for the tip on the notepad, seems others are suggesting similar approach, I’ll try and see how it helps
