Aphantasia - memory

I have been thinking a lot more about my general memory and the ability to recall and process information, so I thought would share some thoughts and ideas about what I am currently aware of :-)

I have aphantasia as well and i'd definitely have to write it down but that also makes me realize i'd have to write it down now...not when I was a kid. When I was a kid I could remember some phone numbers (i'm 30) but now that smart phones are a thing I don't remember them expect for my own...and I do know my social security off the top of my head which is 8 numbers. I've always had aphantasia too as far as I know. I think my phone number and social security number at this point is somehow muscle memory, like how I can type fast and don't need to look at the keyboard (I had a keyboarding class in high school...years before I learned about aphantasia when I thought my brain worked like everyone else's in that sense). But new to me numbers I wouldn't have that muscle memory, that needs to be worked at so at first I would have to write it down. If I wanted to remember it i'd have to repeat it to myself again and again for awhile until it stuck.
