vial The Third Metric Redefining Success Beyond Money & Power How To Remember Literally Everything By Carolyn Gregoire: 09/30/2013 "Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things," the Roman philosopher and statesman, Cicero once wrote. And though it was important at the time of Da Oratore, his dialogue on cultivating the power of remembrance, the art of memory is possibly more relevant than ever. Constant digital distractions and multitasking can have a negative effect on working memory. Collectively, our memories do seem to be getting fuzzier: A recent poll found that Gen Y- ers between the ages of i8 and 34 are more likely than the 55-plus set to forget what day it is (15 percent vs. seven percent) and where they put their keys (14 percent vs. eight percent). They also forget to bring their lunch (nine percent) or even to take a shower (six percent) more frequently than seniors. Poor memory can strike at any age, and it could hinder your work and personal life. We all remember using mnemonic devices in school (Did "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" get you through third grade geography?), but memory tricks can be more than just study aids. As adults, there are a number of simple and practical tools to help you remember people's names and stop forgetting where you parked your car or left your keys. Try these eight hacks to super-power your memory. Visualize it. Maze of 7 EFTA_R1_01946361 EFTA02672631
