Yeah, my memory is sharp when it comes to events. I can tell a person where they were standing, what they had on, what they said, and the date.
However, I forget where I put things because I'm not paying attention at the time. If I get caught up in a project or I'm thinking about something I have to do, I will forget the little things like where I put my keys or phone.
For example if I'm cooking and start working on a project, I may burn my food it the timer isn't on. Great cook, but I will forget I'm cooking when I'm working on something else.
My family calls me "absent minded." But I know it's that I'm not being present moment aware or mindful. My head is somewhere else while my body is doing something else. Do you know what I mean?
