When I was 12, I forgot something.
I forgot it completely, then I remembered that I’d forgotten it. Since then I’ve forgotten things on a daily basis. Basically I have a very poor memory, but it has affected my career much less than I expected. There are workarounds. I did well at school and have two good degrees, a career and I’ve made decent progress up a few other learning ladders like languages, flying and music (still not great with lyrics though!).
So I thought I’d share. This blog is about getting over the dread of saying, ‘you know, I completely forgot’, and the fear of forgetting something you have to do – my constant demons.
I believe in practical magic, so if you’re interested in the memory thing, bookmark this link now <<NOW!>>, then email the link to yourself so you have a reference. Even better – get involved. You’ll see where this is going from the next few posts. Let me know your tips and thoughts about memory, and please comment on the posts.
