I must be losing my mind from getting older or getting busier. Since I started actively planning for the Big Journey, I have been forgetting things on a constant basis. This is not the time in my life to become super forgetful!
I am forgetting about gigs and booking others, I stopped to blow my nose after one DJ engagement and I left one my CD bag on the street thus losing it, I wanted to go to the gym and when I got outside I realised that I was carrying my DJ record bag instead, I am forgetting coffee dates with friends, I thought that one important phone call was at 14:00 while it was at 13:00!
Let’s hope that the fact that I am too busy is the reason behind this never-before-seen behaviour. I suspect that because there are so many things that are running on my mind, some things are becoming trivial.
No wonder my poor brain is hurting. It's already full (just replace beer and sex with chocolate)!*
I have always boasted on having a good memory but I now think that there’s too much to remember that I need to start taking notes. Thankfully, I can use the notes and calendar applications on my iPhone. It’s just that now it’s going to be a pain to note down everything that I have to do because once you start relying on notes, you need to stick to it as your mind will forget how to remember stuff.
Or perhaps, I should just be searching for information on how to deal with information overload?
