I find I have far too good of a memory, I remember too much useless knowledge.

Hey, I like that idea - too bad we can't make it a reality...
Have a great day, Marilyn

There is no such thing as unwanted information. If the info was of such unimportance, why did you learn it; and if you think it of no use, what are you doing with your life, that such things become useless.
With the vast amount of information I have stored, I still have ample room to learn something new each and every day!
Always remember >> Knowledge is Power, the more you know, the more powerful you are; of course that depends with what you do with it!

HA! I too can't get rid of the useless info! I need a better memory to help me with the things I NEED to remember!

Same here; I wish I could delete all the useless celebrity information that's floating around in there.

It's called "trivia," and it's not useless, necessarily. You can get some good information on "compartmentalizing" in a good psychology textbook, at the library. It's very effective and easy to incorporate into your day. Be well.

yeah, its like my minds on overload on occasion. but if I had my choice I would choose to rid myself of all the bad memories that has had such a negative impact on my life. Id like to erase the hurt I have suffered but then again I think If I erased all the hurt than I would be naive and I wouldnt have learned from the pain. Which has made me the kind hearted person I am today.

I am with you, I can still remember my best friend's phone number from Jr. High School but unless I take a list to the supermarket I forget something. Go figure.

Yes! Sometimes I would like to do that. I hate remembering my own mistakes and my foolish being sometimes! It just won't go away. When I think about it, I feel soo lame! But anyhow, there are always better days! =)

Yes, but one never knows when that "useless knowledge" will come in handy. And you'll never LOSE your memories, but over time you'll lose your ability to recall them.

Purge the demons......Take what you need and let the rest go. Keeps your life clutter-free and leaves room for more good stuff. I am on a need to know basis and yet I know more cool stuff than most people.:)
