Question:

What is a good way to improve memory?

I am a people person and attent a lot of chamber of commerce get togethers. The one problem I have is remembering peoples names. Not just in work situations, but is social events with friends, its tough for me to remember what we were talking about just a couple hours ago. Is there an effective way to improve someones memory, not just so I can remember names, but so I can remember stories, books I read, funny quotes from movies, etc...


Answers:

To more easily memorize names, write them down if you can, or collect business cards at formal events. Use the person's name a few times during your first conversation. "It's nice to meet you, Bob. Do you live in the area, Bob? Bob, maybe you can answer a question for me" Okay, not all in a row like that. Then a few minutes after the conversation, look around the room and recall the names of the people you've met. Do the same thing before you leave, then again when you get home.

As far as remembering stories is concerned, try to remember the story as a series of images or events in your mind. It should be easier to do that than to memorize the words.
