I think I have a poor memory, I tend to forget things.
Sometimes, my life is like a movie: Memento (2000), I need notes and procedures to know what to do.
And that’s the thing – having a poor memory forces me to think a lot.
„OK, I don’t know where this object usually goes – but where would it go?”.
It’s far more tiresome to always think – „What’s the purpose of this object – than to know it, as far as I can tell.
But, all in all, there is a solution – associations (X is related to Y, which is related to Z) and procedures (X should be done like this, following this procedure, rinse and repeat).
Did I mention how great Google Calendar is?
