Stop Offloading Your Memory to the Machine
Externalizing your memory to machines ultimately makes you less productive.
It feels like the opposite when you first do it. That’s what today’s products depend on.
But what feels like an advantage is really just seeing the isolated definition of a task become optimized.
Real world tasks do not function according to such isolation definitions.
In the long run, externalization causes you to do many things you wouldn’t have done; things that are grossly counterproductive, but extremely easy to put into the tool.
Productivity apps, monitor workstations, etc. are akin to junk food to your long term health goals.
The real world utility of biological memory is unparalleled.
