How to Remember Names When You Meet People
A simple, repeatable routine for remembering names at work and social events.
· 5 min read
Most of us don't forget names — we never properly encode them. This routine fixes that.
The four-step routine
- Focus: pay attention as the name is said.
- Repeat: use the name once in conversation.
- Picture: turn the name into an image.
- Link: connect that image to a feature of the person.
Keep practising
Like any skill, this gets faster with practice. The Memory Challenge will include structured drills.
