I have never had much faith in my memory, because it fails me all too often. So, in the past few years I have been doing a number of different things to make my way through the world without using my memory as much. That wasn't really on purpose though. My purpose behind my actions was to allow me to rely on my memory less. It just so happened that I didn't even use my memory, because I rarely had to rely on it.
Now, I think that my memory has atrophied like a muscle. I guess it is true that if you don't use it -- you lose it...
Time for a new plan. No reliance on memory, but still striving to develop it with inessential activities.
Do you know that we can recreate memories and believe that they really happened? I learned that in psychology and we read a lot of articles about it.
