How Your Mind Registers Information

To use your memory, you need to figure out how your mind registers information. It can be in writing or audio/visual format. It’s important to leave technology behind and focus on the individual or group in front of you.

  • When we get introduced to someone or meet them for the first time, repeat their name often in your conversation.
  • Do not hide behind your laptop taking notes during a meeting.
  • Make it a game to remember people's names as you walk by the office.

    Ashley Anthony

    This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

    Jamyson Haug
