Hey human. Remember the time that embarassing thing happened? Ah, fun times. But hey…good to catch up. Have a good day at work. By the way, you forgotyour wallet at home, which has your work clock-in card. Oh well. Back home, and lose 2 hours of pay, dickhead!

Noup, that shit runs on pure RNG. There is absolutely no control in what or when it remembers, the good, the bad, important or irrelevant information. There is no pattern or reason for this things memorizing or recalling ability.

Muscle memory is the only reliable thing.

The machine for predicting problems focuses on problems.

reminds me of this song:

There are ways to mitigate these things.

If there are things that you want to remember, you can use strategies to help you remember. For rote memorization, there are all sorts of mnemonics. You can find ones that work for you. There are techniques to help you remember names, for example.

And my favorite method to remember something that needs to be done is to assume you’ll forget it and do something that makes it much harder to forget. The example everybody knows is the bookmark. Most people won’t remember the page number they were reading, so they put a bookmark in, and don’t even try to remember. You can do similar things, like if you don’t want to forget something for work the next day, you can put it inside your work shoe.

Forgetting something that you want to forget is probably the harder thing. But I think mindfulness meditation helps. A lot of times, the thing that you want to forget is something that you’re intentionally thinking about, despite what you say you want to do. Mindfulness meditation can help you just let go of those thoughts.
