When we have something to memorize or at least to remember for the day, we tend to forget all about it although we have been thinking not to forget since we got out of bed. But the wonder of the human brain doesnt work like that. The more we force for it to work, in this case, absorb as many important information necessary, the harder it becomes to retain information.
We have been used to living in comfort ever since the men continued to evolve and invent many things to make our lives easier. But what we neglect to think about is the purpose of possessing intelligence above every other living thing in this earth. We are given the knowledge of wisdom and comprehension but it seems we are just putting this privilege to waste. What were not aware of is that our brain is meant to work. And the work it is capable of doing is to think and to store memory.
Whats the use if we continue to depend on organizers, auto reminders etc.? We have many things in our midst that we can use for our own comfort, thats why when we do a few portion of remembering, we squirm and complain and say that its all too difficult to do these things. Its actually one point why our memory fails us...
