FORGET ME NOT!



FIVE TIPS THAT WILL GIVE YOU A PERFECT MEMORY
Scientific research proves that we forget half of what we hear after 30 minutes. But five simple tricks will permit you to remember everything you hear forever:
Repeating what you hear as soon as you hear it will move the information from short-term memory into long-term memory. For example, if you're introduced to a stranger, figure out a way to mention her name in the ensuing conversation.
The human brain can store no more than seven bits of information at a time. If someone tells you something, chunk the information into small pieces and repeat them to yourself several times.
Write information down - even if you don't have pen and paper. Just tracing the words in the air with your finger will etch them in your memory.
Listen. When we're in a conversation, a lot of our attention is focused on what we're going to say next and not on what's coming out of the other person's mouth. Pay close attention.
Make mental "photographs" with the information written on them.
