What’s In A Name?

Why can’t you remember names?

Most of us have trouble with names. Why is that?

Memory is a funny thing. Most of us think we’ve got pretty good memories, meaning we think things happened the way we remember them.

Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case. Prosecutors KNOW that if ALL they’ve got is eyewitness testimony, they don’t have much.

Our Brains Are Squishy

They even did a study where they had some “robber” run in and “steal” a professor’s laptop, right in the middle of the lecture. It was all planned, just to see how much the students would remember.

You’d think the students would be able to remember the situation pretty clearly right? After all, they were looking RIGHT AT where the event happened, when it happened, with focused attention.

But when they were polled, their description of events were all over the place. His clothes, his race, his gender, everybody had a different story.

What’s going on?

A Little Effort On The Front End Goes A Long Way

The trick with memory is not in how you “find” the memories you’re looking for, but how you “store” the information in the first place.

Remember, your subconscious is getting hit with millions of bits of information per second. Unless you put special emphasis on any particular piece of data that goes in (like somebody’s name) your subconscious is going to throw it in long term storage with the rest of the “noise.”

But when you store it correctly, you can easily retrieve it. And not just names, everything.

Remember Anything You Want

Dates, recipes, birthdays, combinations, even complicated material for tests, or bullet points for your next speech.

The truth is that your brain is an incredible device that the world’s top scientists are only just beginning to understand.

When you learn to use it correctly, you’ll not only impress all your friends with your amazing memory, but you’ll unlock other massive powers that others don’t even know exist.
