At 71, I have to document. I started a long time ago. I worked for a mec. contractor long ago, and the rule was: ‘If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen.’ That just carried over to everything I do.
As in a blog or wiki? I do not because I am not authoritative. What I know came from reading, doing, screwing it up, ad nauseam. When something finally clicks for me, I write it down because 9 times out of 10, I will need that info later. But my writing would be so full of inaccuracies that it would be embarrassing and possibly lead someone astray.
I guess there will be a time where I take notes of what month it is!
You may jest, but there are times when I can’t remember what I had for breakfast. They say that you never truly forget anything, but that our recall mechanism fades over time. For a myriad of reasons, including age, my recall mechanism is shit.
Offt depends what you had and your version of health. I am hopeful that technology helps when I am that age, only a few years but ai agents seem to be a start. Just need to let go of those big data fears.
Time to start documenting it!

Do you write down what you write down on the internet?
