Your whole life depends on you being able to retrieve things from your memory.
I’m sure you know what I mean… “Where are my keys?” “What major tasks do I need to complete today?” “What time is that meeting I need to attend?”
Questions such as these bombard our minds daily.
If you’re able to recall the relevant information, you’ll keep your life on track.

As you’ll see below, continually overloading your memory, can lead to recall issues and embarrassing social interactions.
