Memories marked for times of reviews
I'm fairly confident in the organization of my long-term memory. My "continuous" memories started about when I was 4 1/2 years old. I woke up one morning and entered the kitchen where my mum was. My sister was also present. I remember seeing the dishwasher and the sink. My mum gave us baby formula; apparently, I still liked it at that age.
Here's the thing, even at that time, I had no memories (except a memory of a single event, which was disconnected from the main continuation) from before waking up that morning. I'm confident because I remember making a review that very day, and then made further reviews later on. I don't just remember it as being the start of the main continuation of memory, but I know it was the start because I reviewed the heck out of it over and over again.
Does anyone else remember like this?

I think continuous memory usually refers to blocks of computer memory.
Most of my memories start around age 2 and they seem to be things that made an impression on me and I reviewed often. I only remember the sequence because my family moved around a lot and I remember the houses.
The funny thing is my preschool memories seem closer and more part of me and my school years and young adulthood memories seem more hazy and distant and I'm not always sure of the time sequence.
