Tool #3: Making Connections
The third tool is related to organization but has its own place in the toolbox. It's making sure
that there are the right connections or links between your memories.

We normally have many connections already in our memories. But you may have to, or may want to,
make new ones. Some connections are relatively simple, and between relatively simple thoughts,
such as the connection between "snow"; and "ice." But other connections can be complex, or
between complex ideas. For example, hearing that an investment is offering an interest rate of
1.5% may evoke connections to memories of interest rates on other kinds of investments.

Connections are useful for three major reasons. One is that they simply make memories much
stronger and more permanent. Any single memory by itself can fade or get isolated, and be
forgotten. But when that memory is linked with others, the whole network becomes very much
stronger, and much easier to navigate. It's like the difference between the strength of a single
thread and the strength of a rope with many threads woven together.

Connections are critical for our ordinary memory for events, names or facts, because it's the
connections to tags that we put on these that help us to remember them.

Connections are even more critical for our everyday thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.
Connections are what allow us to connect the dots inside our heads, which is what we do when we
think. The more we have, the better we can be at thinking.
