It's actually pretty easy. You don't think about or know something at all. Maybe this thing is really important to you, but that doesn't matter. Then when you find out the answer all of the details come flooding back to you. So not only do you now know where the thing is, what you were doing, how to proceed, etc. But you also remember knowing it the whole time. I like to describe my ADHD as having pretty good memory, actually. I'm just not the one in control of how I use it. I will remember specific things in insane detail, but forget important things. I have a feel for things that I'll remember and use it to my advantage. I know I can remember rules/policies really well so I try to read them when I can. I'm a certified arborist because of that.
