Optimize Your Memory for Better Productivity

It's often believed that it's difficult to remember dreams.

But if we create a 1 minute video collage of short clips lasting between 1 and 5 seconds (which is what dreams often are) by the end you will not remember all of the video's content even in your waking life.

A dream is therefore a movie that you can only see once.

So, then, is it really the quality of our dreams to be difficult to remember, or that it is to do with our memory when we are in either state of being awake or asleep?

What can we do to optimize our memory?

I think that the solution is simple.

When we are born knowing pretty much nothing, we have little memory. Not because we are not capable of memorizing anything. But because we have not had a chance to do so yet! So, what would you recall from your memory if you haven't made any memories yet?

My solution is therefore... in order to improve our memory, we must persist on learning as much as we can. The more we know, the better our memory is.

Therefore... our memory must be evaluated not by how well we can recall things we already know... but how many things we know. If we only know 1 thing, it would be very easy to recall it.

To me, there is no limit in how much we can learn, if there is, I haven't reached it. Sometimes I get tired while learning new things, but it doesn't mean I have ran out of room for it. I'll continue the next day.

I am often amazed at how well I can remember things I spent time learning even years after reading about them.
