@Scott – Dale Carnegie teaches this? I had no idea. He is one of my favorite “guru’s” of all time.

Joao – Thanks for the tip. I am going to try it out (minus the poking my eye out part).

Hey Mike.

Really awesome technique! Works super great! I remembered the whole list!

But I’ve got another method that helps me remember of ideas I have when I don’t have a pen and a piece of paper around.

When something happens and I want to remember it, I usually make a loud weird sound, poke my eye with my finger, or do something else strangely unusual that comes up to my mind at that moment.

Now that I think of it, It’s very probable that I look like an idiot… Anyway…

I create an association between the idea and the moment.

Since the moment is unusual, because I made it be, it’s super easy to remember.

Later, instead of trying to remember the idea directly, I remember the moment of when I had the idea. Since, the picture you have of the moment is so clear, you can perfectly remember the idea.

Instead of reading myself to sleep last night, I practiced this strategy. Quite effective for memorizing 30 items plus the anchor set of ten. The visual brain is such a powerful tool.

My anchor list? Top 10 favorite dogs I know!

I have seen this method before and used it from time-to-time. The real key to using it it is to shut out distractions and take a little time to work it through. Ultimately the time at the beginning saves beaucoup time later on. The more you do it, the faster you get at it.

I use a variation where I group the items into a single storyline with pictures. The image helps me remember the item and the story where the item is on the list. The sillier and more interesting the story, the better my memory of the items.

Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I can teach this to my clients- help them remember what they can do to improve their relationships.
