How are people doing with TBI recovery?

I will be at 3 years next month. I still have memory issues, mostly for names and finding the right word when I need it. Also, multi-tasking is a thing of the past. If I set out to do one thing and see something else to do, thing one is gone.. If I go to a store, I need a list.
However, when I spend time with friends my age or even younger, I find that I am often quicker at coming up with the word or name. So, this is normal for my age, just not for me. Very frustrating!
I'm still very useful and productive. Fix lots of things at home and for others. Installed a new(not replaced) window in my dining room, Bought a used 16' boat, replaced the floor and remodeled the whole interior and trailer.. Installed a new combination on demand water heater/furnace for a friend. People know I can fix everything and can't say 'no'.
I depend on the To-Do list on my phone and tablet as well as my Outlook calendar for appointments.

Hi,

What are your most severe repercussions you deem most integral? I have my notes, over a thousand pages being edited and tutors daily notes of two hundred and twenty eight weeks. Recovery isn't difficult if proper steps are taken but it is time consuming and requires work, dedication and commitment.
