[Cicero]

I think of it like a processor and memory usage. You defrag to get the files in order, delete entirely what is no longer needed, intentionally not storing your drive that you will not use,or deem irrelevant. I refuse to commit things to storage intentionally at times as I know I only have so much capacity. When it is imposed that I learn something I take this into account.
If I am forced to learn something trivial at work, I make a conscious attempt to dispose of the knowledge ASAP. I try to prioritize learning and memory usage....


I think this will be useful as I get older. I constantly learn new things so organization is useful to me. It is no full proof method as we can not always choose conscious input and there are portions of unconscious input or cues we commit to memory without being aware, or willed. But it is a method if you have limited storage.
