Another little trick

I forgot to mention the other day one other trick I use to remember what is said to me; I write it down. When I listen to a program on tv that interests me, or if I go to hear someone speak, I take notes.

The actual physical act of writing down what is being said while I am hearing it sends an additional message to my brain that this is something I want to remember. It is yet another way to remember it as well, since now I have both heard it and seen it (as I am writing).

Just one more little trick. I would still love to hear from you about the tricks or methods you employ to help you maximize your gifts and minimize your skill deficits.

    Hmm… I read blogs on a similar topic, but i never visited your blog. I added it to favorites and i’ll be your constant reader.

    Yep, that’s how my mental process works best as well. When I write something down, it locks it away into memory forever. I guess that’s why I’m a writer :)

    Also, to answer your question, something strange has always helped me. I think my mind is classically conditioned to function better when having a hot drink next to me. Whenever I used to write in the mornings, I’d always have a cup of coffee or tea next to me. Now, whenever I sit down in front of a computer with a cup of something warm, my mind automatically kicks into gear :) Don’t know if that counts as a trick, but it works for me.
