Dramatically improve your memory with an ancient technique used by world memory champions. via CNBCMakeIt
More than 2000 years ago, the ancient Greek poet Simonides of Ceos developed a strategy for improving memory, known as building a"memory palace."
The goal of a training session is to memorize a list of words. The strategy is to walk around a familiar place like your kitchen or bedroom and imagine placing vivid objects that represent the words in specific spots. Mnemonic hints help, and the more bizarre, the better. If you have to remember the word"sun," for example, you could imagine a little sun over the heater. To remember"football" you could mentally place Eagles quarterback Nick Foles by your shoe rack.
As the research shows, practicing the technique over time slowly builds connections in your brain that improve your memory, which in turn can affect nearly every aspect of your life, whether you're talking to a client and drawing on something you read to demonstrate expertise, or telling a detailed story to your friends over drinks.
"Once you are familiar with these strategies and know how to apply them, you can keep your performance high without much further training," said Dresler.
