#eventboundary

[eric-sadahire]

Did you know? The physical act of passing through a doorway is the reason why you often forget what you were doing. Because going through the door signifies the beginning or end of something, this creates an 'event boundary' within your mind. Basically, when you walk through a doorway, your brain starts filing away your thoughts from your previous location to make room for a new group of memories in the next.
