Hey!! There are so many areas as a learning and memory trainer that I find quite obvious that we can apply memory techniques to. Yet, I quite often find people with a different (or slightly different) areas in life (than the known and the famous) where memory ditches them.With the relaunch of "The Neurons" and its programs, there are some initiatives that I don't want to be left behind with. One of them being - going out and asking people of all ages and different backgrounds about their situations of frustration out of forgetting something important or trivial. The question here is quite open ended (to start with) and that is:
What, according to you, are few important situations where you find it difficult to remember or to recall some information (e.g. events, dates, specific study subjects, names of people, tasks, maps, shopping list....etc.)?
This feedback would be of great help in understanding common and important areas where memory techniques could be applied or evolved to suit them. Also, it would help in developing our programs to cater to most of the audience with a wider applicability of the skills taught about.
And please keep visiting back and we shall definitely share a great deal of information. I am all EARS!! :)
Dear Sachin,
ReplyDeleteIt’s good that you’ve kept it open ended. I think we cannot cover the aspects in 4-5 options as the memory loss is largely due to lack of attention. Think of a favorite movie and your favorite scene and see if you can recall it from your memory….we all can easily recollect.
We also tend to forget something that we don't easily identify with or something with which we are not very familiar.
I'd request ankur to share his views.
Best wishes,
Preyash.
Hi Sachin,
ReplyDeleteThough, I am a Maths gratuate and performed good in Maths but I always find it difficult when it comes to remember numbers/digits.
I am in Computer Networking field and have to play with numbers in diffirent forms viz. Binary, Hexadecimal,IP addresses,Differnet protocol Timers, Port Numbers, Router / Switch Model Numbers, IOS Versions, Bandwidth Standarts etc. I find myself puzzled in numbers every now & then. I am sure this sort of training will prove to be a remedy for any IT profession having hard time remembering numbers / digits like I do.
Thanks a lot for bringing in this sort of training and I look forward to be a port of "THE NEURONS" soon :)
Hi Sachin,
ReplyDeleteVivek just forwarded me the email that you had sent. I am sure that a smart way to remember can certainly help a great deal. Though being an engineer you have ventured into something that you kie and It heartens me. I here add, few things that I remember that I forget -
1. Maths & Numbers - Not the academic stuff. General stuff like meters, Centimeters, Feet, Kms and all that matter.
2. Telephone Numbers.
3. Route to a destination - Though I often visit a place, usually I end up searching upon next visit.
4. Add other things like Mobile phones and kind of. I have lost 3 mobile phones, yet I improve.
I will certainly recomment once I find remember what keep forgetting!
Wish you success...

I have lot of difficulty to remember names, even organising things I need to do professionaly & personally.
ReplyDeleteEven simple thing like remebering prices of veggies or things you bought from market place.
If we dwell we would realize that having good memory can do wonders to our professional & personal life.
I also see it as system of efficient life & managing stress
