Well, that's a pretty impressive list. Still . . .
I think I may have mentioned I spent half of 1996, all of 1997, and about 1/3 of 1998 working on a big personal injury case. By the time it was done, the paperwork I had, including research material, filled ten banker's boxes, and my partner had another eight. At various stages along the way, I would have to be able to remember everything all at once, globally, which came to require an actual mental process, of refreshing the old recollections, I could actually feel them coming back, but it meant that I could not remember other things. I thought I was losing my memory, I started taking "smart drugs," e.g. DLPA, and reading books on memory loss. Finally, I was able to put it all down and behind me, and it did take a while, but my memory has improved quite a bit. I did cross-word puzzles for a while, just to limber it up.
Maybe, like most smart people, you expect too much from yourself? |
