Making a note to release memory space
Have you experienced that your brain can not work well?
When we have a lot of things to do or when we have concerns, we can not focus on the things we need to work on.
This might be a lack of working space in your memory.
If you have task1, task2, task3, …task6 but can’t finish any of the tasks after an hour.
The solution is to list the tasks in a memo and prioritize them, and then think about the highest priority one first.
Then you can your brain memory more efficiently.
Computer memory vs Human memory
I think it’s similar to computer memory architecture.
There is a memory hierarchy in the current computer architecture. If we look at a $500 laptop, 8-16GB DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) is used with 256GB-512GB SSD (Solid State Drive).
DRAM is x10-x100 faster than SSD but 1/16-1/64 smaller density than SSD.
So we have to utilize DRAM space as much as possible for higher efficiency.
If there is data fully in DRAM, computing gets slower since there is a lot of swapping between DRAM and SSD.
How to avoid swapping?
We can close unnecessary applications to release the memory space.
Thank you for reading this post.
Don’t forget to make a note when you are confused or not focus on tasks well.
