I DON'T REMEMBER

I don't remember that! Do you find yourself saying that very often? I do. Whether it's people's names, places or a whole bunch of other things, sometimes my memory draws a blank.

"Having a Good Memory is Critical to Success – One Simple Strategy to Improve Your Memory" 

This was the topic of a blog called "Rich Habits" by Tom Corley and it caught my eye. What was the strategy? It was an oldie but goodie. Here it is:

"I’ve tried several of those strategies, but the one I found to be the easiest and best at improving my memory was one that Abraham Lincoln used.

Abraham Lincoln was considered one of the most electric speakers of his day and many of his speeches have gone down in history as among the best of any president.

Lincoln, wrote almost all of his own speeches even as president, an incredible accomplishment considering he was embroiled in a Civil War that occupied most of his waking hours. One of the reasons Lincoln was such a prolific speaker has to do with a habit he formed long before he became president. Lincoln, in his early years, formed the habit of writing down anything he wanted to commit to memory, three times."

It was good for Abe, I think I'll try it. Why don't you?
