What do you outsource that is common and uncommon among people that you know?

A lot of little facts (of the kind that people on LW use Anki decks to memorize). I outsource them to Google.

I barely remember any phone numbers nowadays and that seems to be common.

What should you be avoiding keeping in your brain that you currently are?

Schedules / to-do lists. I really should outsource them to some GTD app, but can't bring myself to use one consistently.
