I have to write reports for work.
And once that report is written I struggle to remember anything about the case.
Put that report in front of me and seemingly without reading it I can recall it in detail that amazes me.
I do think there is a psychological archiving effect from writing. And that in the right circumstances it can help remember as well as declutter your mind.
Mind you I have no evidence for any of this other than personal experience.
- themitigating 4y agoDo you mean visulizing the set of papers or filename?
- psychphysic 4y agoNo unfortunately I have to open the report. It's fairly useless phenomenon but I imagine there is some words that prompt me subconsciously? The reports are 5 pages long and titled date and subject. The first page is just details of where when what who. I don't even consciously read it having it there somehow helps me remember.
