Tacit recall
General March 12th, 2007
As I prepare for 2007 March Madness, I wanted to review my files from 2006. Because I’ve moved offices since last March, I had to poke around my new office to find the files. They weren’t in the filing cabinets. I could visualize what I wanted, but I didn’t know where I put it after I moved. I walked down to the old office, which still has some things of mine in it, and looked in the usual places there. No such luck.
Oh well. I’ve been running a bracket the last few years; I know what I need to do. After I made up the bracket sheet and made some copies, I knew I should keep the original “safe” somewhere in case I need to run more copies. I instinctively set the sheet on top of the hutch in my office (because anything on the desk itself is fair game for being re-used, tossed, or buried) …. and put the page right next to the massive folder containing the previous years’ files.
I couldn’t actively remember where I put the file, but in two different sessions I instinctively synthesized (or recreated) where I thought I should keep it. I think that’s cool.
In related news, if you’re interested in filling out a bracket, let me know.
