I can't echo this sentiment enough. Forgetting is just as important as remembering. Past experience has only marginal value to the present and future and can just as often lead you into stray directions. The number of times having a pinpoint memory of some obscure fact has helped is a handful across decades? A bit of obvious bias: I can't really know all the times knowing something I didn't would have been helpful. But I can recall a substantially large number of times I -- in effect -- remembered too much and it was a hindrance.
