Keep a Log
There is a documented phenomenon called the Photo-Taking-Impairment Effect, where taking photos of something can reduce your ability to recall details about it at a later date.  It was originally theorized that it was a sort of 'cognitive offloading', but further tests have shown that reviewing and deleting the photos does not make up for the deficit.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22113...I remember finishing a complex math test in high school and checking my calculator's memory to find that I had done some rather simple single digit multiplication that I had no recollection of.  Ever since then I've tried to be conscious of what I offload and what the long term consequences might be.  For example, I'm confident that my ability to spell has decreased as spellcheck technology had advanced.I'm not recommending against keeping a log.  In fact I keep several myself.  I use google keep for simple things that I eventually want to forget.  I use anki flash cards for spaced repetition study of short concepts that I want to remember.  I use oneNote for sprawling interconnected datasets.  And lastly, I used waldenpond.press to print and bind stories and articles that I want to remember and revisit.I just think that there is a risk to haphazardly externalizing more and more of your cognition.  I started a new carrier 5 years ago, and found that many of my skills had atrophied over the years.  I think I spent more time in my first 6 months relearning abilities I had taken for granted 10 years earlier than my new job duties.
