急匆匆地跑去隔壁房间,却忘了自己是来拿什么的;点开浏览器,光标定在搜索框里,突然不记得自己要查什么;看不清东西时想找自己的眼镜,却不记得什么时候把它摘掉了,也想不起来丢在了哪个角落;明明是昨天刚刚认识的人,却死活想不起对方的名字……你遇到过这些情况吗?
Remembering things, like names, dates, and other fine details is a skill—one that you can sharpen and hone. Here are eight memory boosting techniques everyone can learn.
1. Visualize what you want to grab from a room before you go to get it.
There’s something about walking into another room or passing through a doorway that resets our short-term memory and makes us forget what we went there for. If you visualize your purpose before you leave the current room, you’ll increase your chances of remembering what you want. It also applies to the digital world: before you open up a new browser tab and forget why you opened it, picture your purpose. As a former can’t-find-my-glasses person, I’ve been using a similar technique successfully: When putting my glasses down, I now focus sharply on what the tabletop looks like and the things on it so I’ll remember where I put it. Often we have to be proactive when it comes to remembering things.
2. Learn the chunking technique.
We can only store a limited number of things in our short-term memory—about four to seven different items, according to most estimates. The chunking technique can help us get past this limitation: group several items into a larger whole. This is one of the techniques I learned when training for the USA Memory Championship to try to remember ridiculously long sequences of numbers and pages of poems in a few minutes.
