How do you mean? Do you accidentally break stuff, hurt peoples feelings, or what?

AMPHETAMINE!

There is almost no cure as of yet.

I really try hard not to something retarded and let down people at work.

Live and pretend like you learned.

People who don't make careless mistakes are easily entertained by the mediocrity of that job that you made a careless mistake in.

At least, that is what I tell myself.

General coping for forgetfulness : write everything you think you need to do in a book.

Are these questions? I will presume so and take a stab at the last one. You could play more chess. Maybe this will train your brain to think more moves ahead in time and avoid flipping the coin as much. Sleep more. Your dreams prepare you for what is to come. A simulator. "Practice makes perfect"-or at least they say so . So sleep well, and you should find yourself better prepared to deal with the challenges you have arranged for yourself.

Being caught up inside your own thoughts and your own crazy ideas will cause you not to pay as much attention to the world around you as you should.

I know it is hard for an INTP, but try to stop thinking too much and let your Ne out a bit more.

As the Zen Master would say,...
"Wake Up!"
don't wander about in your thoughts while you are doing something that requires attention.

Humans are not perfect

It is always wise to pay attention, but not too much, lest you ignore everything else

Two can be more careful(or more careless) than one

Not really sure what it is you do for a living, but there are a few essentials that just about anyone who wants to be successful at any job should do.

A google search yielded me this link:

http://www.30daysofgettingresults.com/

Seems legit, I skimmed over most of it and it looks pretty applicable. The two I agree with most are definitely:

1. power hours
2. prioritizing your day
C. Monday vision

I cannot overstate the importance of peak periods (or power hours as this guy calls it). When you plan for them and execute them, your workload disappears at breakneck speed. I have to second that there are hours where I get more done in one hour than I do in eight. As you learn to enter this state and plan to get there more often, your workload will practically evaporate.

I churn through data, reports. hands-on work, really anything at an abominable rate. I do in not even a quarter of the time what other people in my position do, and I do it BETTER than they do.

Read the link if you're having trouble with carelessness at work. A lot of the stuff on there seems to deal with focussing on the important things and getting the stuff that matters done.

I could give a hundred specific methods for improving results and reaching targets, but that link is comprehensive enough for people beginning to take on more responsibility at work.
