Synopsis

Simple, Practical, "Common Sense" Tips to Remember More & Forget Less
You are here because your memory is not as good as you would like. Why might this be?
Well, the internet has all the facts we need at our fingertips. Then cameras store our pictures, and smartphones contain the phone numbers of everyone we know. With so much information being recorded for us, the brain has little that it actually needs to remember. This may be good for productivity, but is bad for our memories.
The problem is when we apply our memories less and less, our ability to remember can also get worse and worse….
The solution here is simple. We must practice and exercise our memories. Thankfully, in Practical Memory you will discover simple systems and exercises anyone can use to improve their memory.
This way, you can see progress immediately, without needing to spend precious time learning difficult techniques.
Internationally bestselling author I. C. Robledo has examined "ordinary" people with powerful memories. Studying such people is useful because they tend to use simple, practical "common sense" systems that we could all benefit from. Now, those tips are all compiled here into one convenient resource. Inside, you will discover:- How to recall even the most difficult memories (e.g., on the tip of your tongue)- Why intending or planning to remember is a key step to building memories- How to stop forgetting your purse/wallet, phone, camera, etc.- Why too much routine can be bad for your ability to remember- How to remember where you parked the car

I’d recommend this book mainly to someone who is just starting to deal with me......more

Goodreads review by Lillie

As the title says, this little book is both practical and simple. Much of what we think we forgot we have, in fact, never really remembered. The author gives useful tips on how to learn a name, a parking spot, the location of your keys, or whatever you have trouble remembering and imprint it in your......more

Goodreads review by Tom

I'm being generous with a four star rating because the book offers what it claims to do, which is to give practical memory tips. Most of the tips are probably already used by most people if they have been around long enough to devise little tips and tricks on their own to help their memory for life'......more

Goodreads review by Rick

I've read a few books on Memory and many of them I struggled to finish, mainly as the ones I read had more theory than something practical that I could use right away. This book is quite a contrast, it is coming from the pure practical side and playing down the theory as much as possible, presumably......more

Goodreads review by Matt

It's a short, focussed book aiming at practical advice, and I've found it to be useful. I appreciate that, and I prefer this approach as opposed to a more pretentious pop-science style with pseudo explanations referencing "studies" that often prove to be far from scientifically conclusive if you act......more
