Tricks for remembering names
As could probably be expected, I’m currently horrible at remembering names. But that’s all going to change! I just ran across Merlin Mann’s 43 Folders post on tips for remembering names he culled together through a bit of googling. (Yes, I can use that word correctly now. Thanks Merriam Webster!)
Anyway, the one that seems the most likely to work is the repetition one. I could see simply repeating a person’s name 3 times when I first meet them (or perhaps talk on the phone) a good way to embed that name into my sieve of a brain.
Don’t forget to repeat names! Over and over and over…
