Pen and paper maths I'm pretty decent at, but ask me to calculate anything in my head and it's anyone's guess if I remembered to carry the 1 or not. Ever since learning about aphantasia I'm wondering if the lack of being able to visually store values has something to do with it.

I can visually store values and I still struggle. :(
