There was an interesting story on NPR's WEEKEND EDITION about how the brain works and the difficulty of remembering multiple things. Worth a listen
http://www.npr.org/sections/health-s...to-forget-them
==================================================
A new scientific model of forgetting is taking shape, which suggests keeping multiple memories or tasks in mind simultaneously can actually erode them.Neuroscientists already knew that memories can interfere with and weaken each other while they are locked away in the recesses of long-term memory. But this new model speaks to what happens when multiple memories are coexisting front and center in our minds, in a place called "working memory."
