On: Ask HN: How can I stop forgetting “things”?

Have less stuff.

This may seem like a snarky answer, but I'm deadly serious...

Your mind should be spending it's energy processing important thoughts, not constantly doing read-seeks for the "frivolous". It's trying to tell you something. Listen.

Do whatever you have to do to make that transition as much as you can. I did years ago and it's probably the best thing I ever did to improve my ability to get things done.

For some people, "two" is too much stuff to remember.
