Why you should have a notebook with you all the time
In this video essay, I am going to argue why you should keep a notebook with you all the time. And the philosophy behind it.
I have talked about types of memories we have. Then tried to explain the new problem of over information. And as a result, overflowing our working memory. And as a result, as we already know working memory is not good at retention.
When you write on notebook, you start to make it as short as possible in your brain. Because you can't write everything that you are thinking.
So you are doing the thinking part. Which helps your brain to transfer whatever you have learned on current memory into long term memory. And then you write. This slow process makes you think while writing.
This act of writing brings clarity. Another benefit is that you are documenting your learning. which saves your effort that you have put into learning. How many times does this happened to you that when you stop reading an article, or a book. You remember nothing about that book. Just some random information that may or may not be useful for you.
You think the book wasn't great. but that was you who though that you will remember that
