Study shows passing through doorways leads to forgetfulness. I personally experience this phenomena on a near-daily basis while working, so it certainly seems plausible. I next wonder if the mind can be taught to overcome this.

omg, now that they point it out it seems so obvious, why didnt i think of this before grrr!

maybe if you paint/decorate the rooms of your house as similar as possible it would lessen the effect

maybe if you walk around your house while listening to audio of something you haven't heard before (something you need to pay mental attention to) then youll train your brain to remain focused through the shifts in event
