Making decisions while living with a memory impairment

(Chapter 18 Problem Solving and Making Decisions in my book)

Having challenges while making decisions happens to me all the time. For example: If I take a lot of fall foliage pictures. Once I download them onto my computer, it can take me days to decide which ones to keep and which ones to delete. Decisions can be very difficult for someone with a memory impairment. Even shopping for clothes can be challenging.

Sometimes I can't remember which foods I like either. If I don't write down what kind of ham or turkey that I like to buy at the deli, I will probably go home with something that I don't like. This is not something that I buy each week. It can be so frustrating!
