Those Are Not Senior Moments


In our continuing struggle to grasp all the information that is forced on us every day, it is only natural to go into overload. What was once thought of as a 'senior moment' is happening to every age group. Don't despair.

Our minds are no different, from a storage standpoint, than that computer you are reading this with. You have a limited amount of storage. If you max it out, you have to get rid of something. The first memories to go in this instance are short term. Not a memory problem, just too much information!

As with any exercise in organization, we must train ourselves to keep only what we truly need. Just like the age old axiom, 'everything in moderation', what we feed our mind is no different than what we feed our bellies.

Here's one tip: review everything you subscribe to, print, online, etc. Start parring down what is truly essential and cancel what is not.

Just REMEMBER, too much of a good thing no longer is!
