  Speaker 1: Aro dot net, arre dot net. Not just one podcast,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it's twenty different podcasts to choose from, one of them
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: being something our parents would say, all of those things
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: that even your grandparents would pop up from out of nowhere.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And you're like, what it makes sense, but really what
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it shocks me when I have to go back three
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and four hundred years to find the roots of something
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like this something our parents would say only on ero
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: dot net aarr Oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration here.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I am that guy that's always asking questions, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: reason why is because it's very fun to start researching
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for answers. How much of our life actually goes unremembered?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Plus is it true that we only remember twenty to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: thirty things out of each year. My name is Arrow.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: then activate. I call it the Daily Mess mainly because
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it's a chronological walk through an everyday world, which means
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it is my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and ideas. We as people tend to thrill things to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the side because we think we're gonna deal with it later. On. Well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: but bute. But by doing that research, the picture becomes clearer.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: This is the daily mess. How much of our life
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: goes unremembered? Oh, you gotta brace yourself for this one.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Research clearly shows a huge portion of our life goes
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent unremembered. We should always keep in mind
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that our memory is not locked in on creating a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: continuous recording. It plays out like a highlight reel. Cognitive
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: research suggests that most daily experiences are never stored in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: long term memory banks. Your brain is constantly receiving huge
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: amounts of sensory input. Now, psychologists estimate that ninety to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the moment by moment experiences that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: we all go through totally disappear from us in hours
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and or just minutes. Whew, the cold hard facts. Your
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: memories require meaning or emotion. Other factors that allow a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: memory to hang out a little bit longer include novelty
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and surprises, repetition, and having a personal importance. And yes,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it's very true that many of us do not remember
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: our childhood before four years old. It is called childhood amnesia.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Memories are made to fade. Let me say that one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: more time. Memories are made to fade. Your brain experiences
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: millions of events, but only retains fragments of them, which
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: basically means you ain't making a movie. It is a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: movie trailer instead. Hey, coming up next, Is it true
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that just maybe there's only like twenty or thirty things
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that we remember in a single year. Hey, welcome back
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to the daily mess. Is it true that maybe twenty
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: or thirty things are actually remembered out of every single year.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking three hundred and thirty five days
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: out of three hundred and sixty five seriously per year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Wait a second here, This is not true. Information not true.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The idea comes from research on distinctive memory days, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't connect us to a short list of memory making.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: This study is actually based on when asked about a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: certain year, you and I, we tend to recall only
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: twenty or thirty things. You see where we're going here,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Mainly because most days are routine and blend together. We
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: tend to store our memories in patterns and themes. Very
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: very very few of us, unless you're a d daily
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: writer like myself. No one truly keeps daily records of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: what you're remembering. So what happens to the memories when
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we can't just instantly bring them up, Well, they're stored
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: inside a compressed script. The brain is locked in on
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: summarizing our routine life. Number one reason to save on
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: cognitive space. A routine year will always feel like it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: flying by, whereas a full year of big changes woo,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that's going to feel like it's lasted forever. But then again,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that's based on hindsight. If your weak does feel long,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it's called a vacation paradox. That proves that being very
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: bored can actually slow down time. I'm Errol, and that's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the daily mess.
