The idea of “transactive memory” is fascinating to me. In short, it’s the idea that you allow others to remember parts of your life (and vice-versa) so that you don’t have to hold it all in. For example, my wife is helping my daughter get ready to head off to the University of Georgia this fall, so she is well-versed in how the UGA scheduling works. On the other hand, if our wifi at the house goes down, she relies on me to know how all of our routers and switches are connected in order to get things back up and running. It works well.
