That's why I write down my account number, so I never have to go in there.

That's cool and all, but why did you "write down" your account number by keying it into my car?

[–] thoughtfuldragon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uh you mean my car that you've been "borrowing" for the past 10 years?

I said I'd return it in a week or 2 and I will. There's no need to remind me every year.

A mind is for thinking, a pencil is for remembering.

Worth noting that writing things down is bad for long term memory. Your brain is a muscle, if you delegate, it won’t stay fit.

Do you remember your entire grocery list every time you go to the store? I need to write mine down, and I have excellent memory recall. Some things are just better to write down. Furthermore, those who don't write things down I find usually aren't using their memories for recall, they just forget things.

Yes, a grocery list isn’t hard to remember at all if you have somewhat decent memory. It’s made even easier if you know where the items are in the store since you can memorise the distance and path instead of the items themselves.
