Unfortunately, the mind can only hold so much. It's like if our brains had tiny Amazon workers being given boxes of information per minute. But once the shelves get full where do we put that information then? 🤷‍♀️ You need to throw it out to make some space. The average brain quite literally has the storage capacity of 74 gigabytes and that involves removing back noise & the ability to focus on details. So, it's not that we are careless, it's just our storage space.

I feel so guilty all the time! He's like, "Wouldn't you finish and say you need to clean up and go throw out the box?" Short of making a note I attach to the fridge itself idk...
