Memory Improvement: Is your memory getting weak? Know easy ways to keep your mind sharp and focused..

Memory Improvement: In this age of distractions, technology, especially the Internet, has posed the biggest challenge to memory. The ever-available availability of tools like Google has made us not even realize that we are using our memory less and less. However, this is the time when a sharp and impressive memory can not only set you apart from the crowd, but can also leave a lasting impact on your professional or other relationships. It is your memory that can enhance your professional image in the early stages of your career. There are some ways in which you can do this.

Be a careful listener.

It is said that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. By remembering people's names, you can make your first meeting with someone effective. Remembering a person's name is not just a courtesy, but a sign of a strong beginning. Research shows that when someone hears his name, a specific reaction is generated in the brain, which makes that person feel very special. So when someone tells his name, repeat it immediately. This shows that you are an attentive listener.

Test yourself

It is common to look back at the last discussion before meeting someone for the second time, but it is better to first test yourself as to how much you remember from the last meeting. Do you remember the main problems or goals of the client? Can you tell the questions posed by colleagues and their work objectives without looking? For this, ask yourself what their needs were? What were the problems and goals? What solution are we moving towards? This practice makes you more confident and alert in the meeting.

So that things are remembered for a long time
Understanding information and remembering it permanently are two different things. Just acquiring information does not make it stick in the mind, but it is also important to repeat it again and again and structure it visually. A famous memory model, Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve, states that the fastest decline in memory occurs immediately after learning. Therefore, repeating the information as soon as you get it, presenting it using techniques like mind mapping by associating it with visuals and colours, helps in your learning and remembering things for a long time.
