We can basically all agree... having a great memory can give us many advantages in our daily activities, at work or school, in various endeavors, and during almost every aspect of our daily lives. However, you may ask yourself, if I'm spending valuable thinking time making certain I'm able to recall my next 5 errands, my shopping list, or when I need my oil to be changed, what other things would I be thinking about that might help me get further in life?

Here are some answers to this question... Interesting points about human thought and memorization encourage productive daily thinking

Controlling the mind. It does not mean stopping the thought process. It means using the mind properly, and utilizing its abilities in productive manner. This in part means to...

Stay focused. Mind wandering, from a relevant thought process, such as paying attention while driving, or from book you are taking in, does have the potential to be dangerous or disruptive. Seeing a food advertisement or some words in a book that remind you of an errand you missed, all can contribute to mind wandering. If we had recorded our errands, and removed the necessity for them to enter our conscious thought, we would have kept focused.

Reduce stress. Keeping your tasks scheduled and their details recorded will eliminate stress in multiple ways. As productivity and efficiency increases, the stressors resulting from wasted energy and frustration in lack of accomplishment are reduced. The time and effort-saving schedule that reduces stress will increase happiness and the sense of accomplishment.

Simplify. Relate a principle of physics to that of our thoughts... As no two physical objects can occupy the same place at the same time, our thoughts should be given their own space in the mind. As giving away physical clutter in our lives in exchange for serenity and peace we should do the same with our thoughts.

These helpful, daily life changing principles lead way to a very important, encompassing improvement to our long-term futures. In minimalizing our daily headaches and distractions, we are able to also, see a clearer path in our long-term future. You will see more clearly your life's journey, comprised of then, now, and what is to be.
