Admittedly, as someone with almost zero trait neuroticism, that's probably relatively easy for me to do, but it is extremely helpful.
That said, I will say that it has one downside, which is that there are many things people will tell me that simply go in one ear and out the other because they aren't relevant to me or immediately useful.
So it's all very nice until someone gets annoyed with me for not remembering something that my brain decided didn't actually matter and discarded without a second thought.
