Episode notes
Memory Requires Attention
- Memory isn't just about retention; it's about what you pay attention to.
- What you don't fully notice, you don't remember because your brain deletes or distorts information when distracted.
Change Your Memory Mindset
- Don't say you have a bad memory; instead, say you have an untrained memory.
- Your brain listens to your self-talk, so shift your mindset to train your memory.
Daily Memory Training Routine
- Use a three-minute morning routine to improve recall, like the name game and visualizing home rooms in detail.
- Practice creating mental pegs tied to numbers for better memory storage and retrieval.
