REMEMBER NAMES AND FACES

摘要

One of the hardest things about remembering people is that you only get to meet them once before you're expected to recall their names. You can solve this problem with repetition. Focus on one or two obvious features-details about their personality or appearance or the way they talk-and say them to yourself as a sentence. For example, "Tyler has a goatee and firm handshake." A moment or two after you've met, recall Tyler's face and imagine him saying, "Hi, I'm Tyler." The more you repeat it in your mind, the longer it will stay there. And just recalling the fact that you've chosen to remember one or two features from each person you meet will help bring those features to mind.
