I'm epically forgetful. but I'm not exactly a titled chess player.
I don't think you can generalize about this. I think "forgetfullness" doesn't have much to do (one way or another) with chess playing.
Do chess players tend to be forgetful?

What are those little horsey thingys called? And they move two squares in one direction and if there is a piece along the same line, it gets pulled over to the other side of the horsey, right?
So in the following diagram, I can move the horsey on g3 to e5 and wrap the Queen around it to f4, right?
I am forgetful in spectacular ways, but I'm also not a good representation of the chess community.

Find a good book on Mindfullness, learn what this means, and practice this most important of all life skills. This will help pull you out of your excessive subjectivity, so you don't neglect the people around you.

That was beautiful! *Tear*
Actually, the sad part is, it gives away my age!
The song is actually older than me by about 4 years, but what are you supposed to do when you are stuck with a mother that listened to Kenny Rogers and Air Supply and a father that listened to Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow all through your childhood and adolescent years ('75-'93)? (GAG!)

Is there any way to overcome this problem?
It is called "concentration" and there is nothing wrong with it. Concentration is required to get the best result in a mind absorbing activity.
The problem is that you see it as a problem. That indicates an underlying feeling of guilt about your chess activities. To resolve it, you should not address what you escape to (chess) but what you escape from. Only you know what that is. Once you restore the balance, you will feel great about concentrating even while the house burns down ;-)
I OPEN WITH H4 EDDY!
