What was I supposed to....?

Unfortunately I've slacked on my previous goal of one post a week, but I've managed to stick close to it so I think I can let myself slide this time. I was thinking about a topic for a post earlier, but I forgot to write it down at the time. Instead, I'll just make this post about forgot-fullness, specifically mine. I find that I tend to forgot details a lot, at least in terms of information I need. For example, I will forget details of programming even though programming is my job. What is quite amusing to me is that I'll remember specifics about video games I play. While it's obvious that I enjoy video games more than programming which contributes to how well I remember it, I believe that there is another factor involved. Video games are about play, while work and education are not. If play was incorporated into education more, or more aspects of life, memory could improve. Some of this is the responsibility of the individual, as we can't expect our whole life to be a game. Education could use an infusion of this though, which is something I've thought of in the past and still believe that I should look into more in the future. I'm going to stop the post there, as this could easily snowball into a much longer one and it would best be served for a more specific post. So I'll close this post with this thought; try to add play to your life, and it might feel a lot better. I know I plan to.
