Today I wanted to share another thought I had, this time it is: "everything has a positive side, even having a bad memory", although perhaps Leonard Shelby (from Memento) wouldn't think the same xD.
Those who know me know that I am a quite active person, always coming up with new ideas, projects, etc., and you know that I always say I have a bad memory (which is true). Sometimes I think it's because I don't exercise my memory much, although sometimes I think it's due to my "hyperactivity."
Who knows why.... the thing is, sometimes it "annoys me" to think that "I am this way," but this time I reflected and thought... well... having a bad memory is not always bad. Why? In my opinion, because:
- It forces me to be more structured, for example:
- When it comes to work, I try to document all procedures.
- Procedures or work that I later share; for example, in articles on this blog like: Partner Agreement, Template for Creating an Analytics Plan, etc.
- I tend to use many task management tools that I later reuse in my work.
- Also, I make myself write more about what I have done so I don't forget it
- For example, my life summary posts which also serve to keep my friends updated on how I am.
- And to share articles like this one, which are thoughts I want to internalize (and writing helps).
- And finally, it also helps you forget problems sooner or lessen the importance of many of them.
In short, if someone ever criticizes you for having a bad memory, maybe you can counter-argue that... having a bad memory also has its advantages, what do you think?
By the way, this reasoning also applies to "having scattered attention," anyone dare to justify the good in this? ^_^
