Chemo brain was real for me too. What helped me was writing everything down in a planner; appointments, meds, even what I ate for breakfast. It sounds silly, but it really helped me stay on track.

Yeah, concentration was a struggle for me during treatment too. What worked for me was breaking things down into smaller tasks. Like, instead of trying to tackle a big project all at once, I'd break it down into tiny steps. And I'd take breaks in between each step to rest my brain.
