Working memory is like your brain’s temporary notepad, the mental space where you hold onto just enough information to get a task done, like remembering a phone number long enough to dial it or keeping directions in mind while walking to a new place. Once the task is complete, that space clears so you can focus on something else. This flexible system depends heavily on attention and the brain chemical dopamine, making it a critical player in how well you switch between tasks, stay productive, and maintain focus throughout your day.
