With over 600 clients I now, either because of pure age or a combo of age, chemo & rad, have my Office Mgr copy all new clients' drivers licenses so I have a picture of them to help me remember what they look like which seems to help me remember their tax issues. I assume that won't work forever but it works for me now.
We use to use the phrase "chemo brain" around here to label our post Tx mental shortcomings but I don't know if that has any scientific foundation.
Om the positive side, at least you remember that you used to be mentally sharper. LOL
