Nicolas Magand noticed an odd phenomenon when reading his old blog posts:

First, that I seemingly forget about 85% of what I write. Reading these articles didn’t feel like reading something completely new — I remember the topic and the gist of what I said — but I was surprised at how much I forgot about these topics, rants, and comments. Writing makes me refine my thoughts, but I think publishing makes my brain click the “Move to bin” command for these now-safely-backed-up thoughts.

You and me both, brother.
