Ironically, this may make your "memory" of the event better than others'.
At work, people sometimes thought I had a bad memory because I wrote stuff down in a notebook...3 years later, when they couldn't remember something...well, I wrote that down, let me check. :-)
- daxfohl 7y agoAre you looking for a job? In my experience that may be the number one differentiator among employees, how much random crap they keep in their notes and are able to reference again later.
- mark_l_watson 7y agoI agree. After I graduated from college my first boss at work gave me a square deal notebook and told me to take a page of notes each day recording important details of what I worked in. This helped me HUGELY. I am retired now but in my last job managing a machine learning team at Capital One, I did the same thing except using Emacs and org mode, like recording good things that my reports did for their reviews, meeting notes (usually written up after the fact), tech ideas, etc. I also take notes on vacations, good recipes I run across, etc. EDIT: I think the act of writing things down helps my memory, regardless of future use of notes.
