Im intelligent on paper. I absorb information like a sponge and i am good with things like making friends and making things that i work on look very good (aesthetics). But in every other aspect of my life, i suck. I forget everything, i cant weed eat a yard without screwing it up, but can rebuild the weedeater in my sleep. Im horrible at following directions. Is this normal?

    you'll be great as a short order cook or a waiter with that kind of mind
    but if you want to aim higher you will need to find a way to remember things for longer my suggestion is to take and keep notes over what is important

    This may be a problem with short-term or working memory. Lots of smart people have this problem and the good news is it is a fixable problem. It has a long-term solution but possible to fix.
