I have dyslexia (specifically a weakness in memory) and agree with everything you say. When not armed with a decent computer I can use as a crutch for my memory I'm noticeably weaker at critical thinking given the time spent recollecting fundamentals.
- andai 5y agoWhat software do you use? I have a poor memory and heavily used Notational Velocity as an external brain, but it's Mac only and I'm looking for alternatives.
- falcolas 5y agoSpeaking for myself, vimwiki notes I review somewhat regularly.
- wenc 5y agoI use Google Docs because it’s available on all platforms. I also carry a paper notebook. I rarely refer to my notes again but the act of jotting them down creates a context, which acts as a hook for me. Even then my recall isn’t perfect but I haven’t run into situations where this has disadvantaged me greatly.
