Avoid digital dementia by strengthening your cognitive abilities.
from Limitless: Core Techniques to Improve Performance, Productivity, and Focus by Jim Kwik
Forcing yourself to recall information instead of relying on an outside source to supply it for you is a way of creating and strengthening permanent memory. The habit of constantly looking up the same simple information, without bothering to try and remember it, results in a breakdown of cognitive abilities. Our brains are muscles, not hard drives. The more you use it, the stronger it gets, and the more it can store.
How to Apply This
