I’m adding this to my heap of research. I’m looking forward to next week’s post.

Basically, it’s the ability to recall a visual image and link it with an emotion, physical action or another organic function. This involves the cingulate cortex and is more profoundly influential on our lives that we are aware of.

Writing something down involves multiple functions and establishes an eidetic memory of the written note that is quite enduring., especially if there is something distinctive about that particular note, ( a small doodle, an unusual color, etc).

I’ve used the same daily “black book” without any electronics for 15 years and its never failed me.
