How often have you wondered: Is it Mary or Marie? Is it Don or Ron? Jen? Laura? Sue? Have you ever met someone introducing themselves, two minutes? You can't remember his name at all afterwards.
Remembering names and recognizing people are very important, so that the other person can feel their uniqueness and your intentions. Fortunately, taking names is a skill that everyone can master. Business Insider columnist Jacquelyn ***ith shared with us 5 ways to remember any name on the Inc. magazine website. 1. Concentration
Concentration is the first step to take note. The biggest reason why you can't remember a person's name is that you didn't hear it at first. You might be thinking what the other person thinks of me? How do I see the other person? What’s next? You can train yourself by asking yourself questions. Now every time you meet someone, ask yourself what is his name before walking towards him? What's his name? What's his name? Make your brain more focused.
2. Archiving
You need a place to store your data. If you leave your key on the hook when you get home, you'll know where to find it when you need it. You need a facial feature to put the person's name on. Maybe big ears, beautiful eyes, bald head, freckles, scars, thick eyebrows. ． ． 3. Imagery
Sometimes you remember the person’s face but not his name. That’s because you only see the face but not the name. For example: when the other party's name is Steve, an image of a stove will be generated in the mind. The name Lisa brings out the image of Mona Lisa. 4. Connect features to the image
The next step in notating is to connect the facial features to the image you created. If you meet a Steve with thick eyebrows, you can imagine a stove cooking those thick eyebrows. The key is to make the image dynamic and emotional. If you can feel the temperature and the smell of cooking when imagining a stove, the deeper the feeling, the easier it will be to remember. 5. Review
The difference between long-term memory and short-term memory lies in review. Every time I go to a place or attend a party, I regularly ask myself who did I meet last week? Who did Zuotian meet? Ask yourself every night who did you meet today? Think about their facial features, the story you create. You can also record their names and facial features in a notebook, such as Steve, thick eyebrows, and stove.
