Learn how to remember peoples' names

Pay Attention! 4 years ago

I always want to remember people’s names, but I noticed that I just don’t pay attention when they’re introducing themselves. Now I try to make it a point to repeat their name out loud when I first hear it, and repeat it in my head a few times. If there are several people that I’m meeting at once, I start running through the list, looking from person to person as their name goes through my head. It helps, but the first step for me was making a conscious effort to care to remember.

Take more pictures

More Often 4 years ago

I take a lot of photos when I think to bring my camera, but I want to take more day by day, of the general things in my life. Not just when I’m on holiday or at a party, but when I’m just sitting with a few friends, or when it’s raining, or sunny, or snowing. I want to photograph my life beyond the normally photographed aspects.
