1. convince yourself
The most important is the first principle: "You have to mentally tune in to what to remember certain information." Must be a positive attitude to memorize the names of the people whom he met, or phone number that you have dictated. This dramatically increases your chances.
2. Adjust the brain
The second principle - is concentration of attention. Gather and listen actively. Feel how the brain is 100% focused on what is happening and what you see or hear. And you need to keep the information freely and without missing anything. […]
3. Learn how to link information
The third principle is to try to link new information with the familiar. If you met someone named Anna, you can "connect" with her girlfriend, who bears the same name.
When you match the new information with the old, you can use anything from a good friend. The brain is much easier to find some data, when combined with the known facts. That's how we add to our knowledge of the brain fresh.
4. associate freely
The fourth principle is to connect. This means that you will find the association to the information you are trying to remember. If, for example, at a party with you met a man named Cyril, you can imagine that he throws the ball, and remember "the Kid - Cyril" every time you see him again.
Associations may be far-fetched, but it does not matter.
When appears Anastasia I (the author - approx. Ed.) Usually I use the image of a pineapple. Associations may be far-fetched, but it does not matter. Your brain must find an answer, the rest does not matter.
5. Place the information in the right place
The fifth principle - is the placement of new data where they can easily be retrieved from memory.
One of the most common problems with the "forgetting" is that we do not know how to search for information in memory.
If you have used the first four principles, you will remember the data much longer than you think. And if you can not find them, you really just do not know where to look.
For example, you could mentally put a woman named Anna in the house of his girlfriend Anna. Or imagine that your girlfriend Anna is in the same room where you meet a new friend. Then later, when you search for her name, you come to mind something to do with the girl, you know very well - and who was it? - Anna! […]
6. Repeat to secure and remember
Repetition is the best friend of memory, and none of the people I know can not remember information without repetitions. If you have used the principles given above, and with you somewhere met five people, then you should immediately repeat himself several times names.
Repetition - the best memory each.
Then it would be good to say these names every time one of them speaks to you. Does not necessarily make it aloud, if it seems kind of strange. A quiet, to myself - just fine. Repeat and images with which you have linked these names, if you do this.
Then you significantly increase the likelihood of them remember the entire evening. It may happen that you will encounter them in a week and call out by name. They will be very impressed. Repetition - this is the last, but perhaps the most important principle.
And something more ...
There is one more point I (the author - approx. Ed.) Is commonly referred to: you have to give it all for a while. Take a few extra seconds and stop to actively remember information.
Then, as a rule, a person begins to use the methods described above unconsciously. Everyone who asks himself: "How would I remember that," automatically trigger your brain to function properly.
Only that you have read an excerpt from the book Idriz Zogaya «Minne, or memory in Swedish." If you want to easily memorize the necessary information, as well as learn how to manage their memory, we recommend that you read it in its entirety.
