I do have a memo all the time because I need to be guided by something in my life. I'm not religious and I don't have idols, so something has to drive me.

I have a very, very good memory, and I always remember the people who have done right by me and the people who have done wrong by me.
I'm not really capable of memorizing stuff without moving around, that's how I do it.
Remembering is painful, it's difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom.
Even as I think of myself as a 'rememberer,' I also know my memory is probably doing all this work to reconstruct a narrative where I come off better.
Everyone has ways of trying to find a way to memorise our past. There's something very poetic about that.
Your hands are not made to type out memos. Or put paper through fax machines. Or hold a phone up while you talk to people you dislike. One hundred years from now, your hands will rot like dust in your grave. You have to make wonderful use of those hands now. Kiss your hands so they can make magic.
Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
I'm always trying to figure out ways to keep hold of memories. My one-sentence journal, for instance.
I met with amnesiacs and savants, educators and scientists, to try to understand what memory is, why it works, why it sometimes doesn't, and what its potential might be.
I have to say, creating memories is so important to me that I did a book about creating memories for your family.
