I feel like I have very bad "mid-term" memory.
I have no problem reading long sentences, and my long-term memory is just fine. But I feel like my brain just forgets things too soon. If I were to speak in front of people about 3 things, by the time I get to the 2nd thing I'd forget what the 3rd is. If I try to learn some non-trivial new concept, like blockchain or coroutine, I understand it just fine, at the time I learn it. But if someone asks me about it after maybe 2 weeks, I'd have no clue and would need to re-learn it.
This also has a pretty big impact on my day-to-day life. I have a very bad sense of direction and suck at navigation, partly because I tend to forget the buildings and landmarks I see. If I take a one-word note in the morning, 30% of time I'll forget what it's about at night.
