I told my wife at Easter this year…

“I’m at the age where I can hide my own Easter eggs.”

She didn’t laugh.

But I wasn’t kidding.

Because here’s the truth:
I’ve reached a point where I lose track of things I bought.
I’ve bought the same course, product, or download twice — not because I’m dumb, but because I literally couldn’t remember I owned it...
...or where I saved it.

Sound familiar?

🧠 Why Memory Isn’t What It Used to Be

Getting older doesn’t mean you’re slowing down.
It just means you’ve lived long enough to accumulate a ridiculous amount of stuff.
Mentally, digitally, emotionally.

We all have:

• Old hard drives full of good intentions

• Folders named “StuffToCheck” and “ImportantAF”

• Downloads from 2013 we swear we’re gonna get to

But the mind? It’s only got so much bandwidth.

I wasn’t forgetting because of age.
I was forgetting because I was overwhelmed.

💡 The AI Shift: A Brain Backup With Context

Enter ChatGPT.

One day, I said:

“Hey, I think I bought a course on creating lead magnets. Can you help me figure out what I’m missing?”

And guess what?
AI didn’t just hand me a to-do list — it became my second brain.

Here’s how I use it now:

• I describe a vague memory (“I think I bought something about writing for kids?”)

• I drop in old receipts, filenames, or random folder names

• AI helps me reconstruct the path and even tells me what to do with it now

It’s like hiring a full-time librarian, organizer, and project manager… who never rolls their eyes when I ask the same question twice.

📂 Bonus Tip: Create a “Digital Memory Bank” Prompt

Wanna level up?

Create an ongoing ChatGPT thread called:
“Stuff I Own – Organize & Track”

Whenever you buy something — a PLR pack, a course, a tool — paste the info into that thread.

Let ChatGPT help you:

• Tag it by topic

• Suggest uses

• Remind you what pairs well with what

• Even track what you've implemented vs. ignored

That’s not memory loss.
That’s upgraded memory.

🧭 GeezerWise Takeaway:

Getting older means your collection gets bigger.
Don’t fight your memory — delegate it.

Let AI help you find the eggs you already hid.
