Being able to remember names, dates and details could give you a huge advantage in everything you do.
Every single one of us has a limitless memory capacity.
Not only is recall difficult, but it also affects how our peers perceive us. Think about it: The person who remembers details, dates, names, specifications—we think of that person as smart and organized. The person who constantly apologizes for never remembering a name or recalls information incorrectly—we think of that person as less smart, or at least not as desirable as the person with the great memory.
If your memory could use a boost, you’re in luck. With some effort, you can improve it. Try these four ways to enhance your total recall:
CONVERT WORDS TO PICTURES
This essential tip works for two reasons: First, we naturally remember visual cues better than words, and second, the more senses you involve in learning or storing something, the better you will be at recalling it.
USE MEMORY SPOTS
Think of physical places that you regularly occupy—your car, your desk—and mentally put the picture from tip one in one of those spots. As you continue to use this technique, you’ll become accustomed to checking with yourself.
USE RHYMES
Rhymes are powerful memory devices. Create a rhyme, and you’ll dramatically improve your recall.
WORK SPECIFICALLY ON NAMES
Conversely, if you never remember names, you may appear careless. It’s worth spending some time to create a specific framework to help you remember names.
Bottom line
Memory matters in everything we do. A lot!
