Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I don't rely on myself remembering anything before repeating it like 100 times, over a month or so. 2 times, then 0 for 2 days, is almost guaranteed "puff" and it's gone.
Think of memory like this: how many times back, do you remember taking a piss? The last one? the one before that? what about 10 times ago?... but I bet you know by heart which side of the toilet you keep the toilet paper, don't you?
We are primed to forget "irrelevant" things, and keep only what matters. Something you only did 2 times 2 days ago, tends to fall into the "irrelevant" pile. Repeat it 3 times a day for 30 days, and it will stay in the "relevant" side. Keep repeating it for a year, and it will end up in your involuntary muscle memory.
For important password changes, either write it down at the beginning, or practice remembering the new password a few times every day, for a week or two before actually changing it.
