My impression is that a lot gets “forgotten” because it wasn’t noticed in the first place. Have you tried mindfulness meditation?
It has been suggested to once or twice, but for other reasons, I might give it a try.
What kind of benefit/time invested ratio can I expect?
I don’t know whether your mind works the same way, but I find that sometimes (if I remember to check!) I can tell whether I’ve actually done something by checking for tactile/kinesthetic memory in addition to visual.
Hmm well, I can tell from the feel of my hands if I have done something that requires me to wash them even if my hands are not visual dirty. Do know any particular technique that enables you to assign feels to preformed actions?
I’m not sure whether you can expect memory improvement from mindfulness meditation—I was suggesting it as something plausible rather than proven. The most detail I’ve seen about the benefits of mindfulness meditation are about calmness rather than memory.
I think kinesthetic and tactile memories get saved for me of things I’ve actually done for a short time. I’m not sure how long it is, but it seems to be more than half an hour and less than a day. I recommend exploring whether there are memory differences between what you intend to do and what you’ve actually done.
