This is a crazy good article! I've always been fascinated by my recent inability to learn new programming languages and concepts and I believe it could be due to the concept expounded in Lee's article: no short-term memory building, no long-term recall.
I doubt I've suffered minor strokes but I think our lives simulate strokes on the short term memory recall by sheer overwhelming schedules and commitments. Our daily schedules are possibly a simulator of short term memory recall impairment.
I know that feeling. I get stressed thinking about all the work building up in my absence. But in the end I've never regretted saying NO or saying WAIT!
