Episode Synopsis

Externalizing your memory to machines ultimately makes you less productive.It feels like the opposite when you first do it. That’s what today’s products depend on. But what feels like an advantage is really just seeing the isolated definition of a task become optimized. Real world tasks do not function according to such isolation definitions.In the long run, externalization causes you to do many things you wouldn’t have done; things that are grossly counterproductive, but extremely easy to put into the tool. Productivity apps, monitor workstations, etc. are akin to junk food to your long term health goals.The real world utility of biological memory is unparalleled.Support the showBecome a premium member to gain access to premium content, including the Techniques and Mindsets Videos, visual concept summaries of each episode, community forum, episode summary notes, episode transcripts, q&a/ama sessions, episode search, watch history, watch progress and support.Join Now at nontrivialpodcast.com or patreon.com/8431143/join
