How do your visuals sort out short-, medium-, and long-term memory? For instance, do you have this week's daily visuals in front of you at all time, but if you have to remember something from 1995, do you only have a 1995 visual which you then open up visually to see individual months and days? In other words, how is it that your visuals aren't all cluttered?

For me, it's mostly about seeing days and months in a specific location. They have the same location for each year. If I'm thinking about a past event, say high school graduation - I picture my age and where I was on the time ribbon and I may also picture graduation time (late May) on my oval.

Nothing gets cluttered because it's not like it's sitting there. I only go to that place when I have a memory from that time. Does that make sense?

I should draw it sometime, what it looks like to me.

Days are easy - for a given week I can see what I did and where it sits in my visual space on the "week oval". I can even see ahead and visualize what my plans are for next week and I see that location with a visual of what I have planned.
