Tips To Improving Your Memory

The best way to relate this to our daily lives is to compare how we manage our bills. When we receive our bills, do we just leave them on the table and the pile keeps building up?

Or do you organize them in a way that they are filed by due dates, so that you can make sure that they are paid in time to avoid any late or interest charges or disruption to any of the utility services?

You probably will know that by getting your filing organized, you can manage this in the best possible manner. This, of course, applies to your office work or to your own business as well.

The mind is no different. If you keep dumping things into it, it will not be able to retrieve and manage them in a organized way.

The concept of filing is a technique that also applies to improving your memory.

According to Wikipedia, the word locus (or plural loci) is Latin for "place". Two thousand years ago a Greek named Simonedes developed a memory method called LOCI.

He created a filing system in his mind and stored the things he wanted to remember in this filing system.

Simonedes numbered the locations in his home. He started in the doorway and then logically proceeded around his home. He ran these items mentally so many times that he would know each of the locations by number and given a location, he will also know the number.

These objects were actually Simonedes' mental files. If now he wanted to remember a list of items, he would place them mentally on these objects in his home. So, if you had to give a presentation without referring to your notes, just change your points into pictures and file them in your "house files". When you need to present, just mentally walk through the house and present without the notes.

Ron White has very successfully used this method personally.

He broke the Guinness World Record by memorizing a 28 digit number in 1 minute 15 seconds on the FOX Good Day Dallas Show. (March 1, 2001)

In August of 2003, Ron was the guest on the British television program, 'Simply the Best' in which he demonstrated how anyone could train their mind to think more effectively.

He memorized the first seven chapters of the book of Proverbs for the Christian Business Expo in 1996. However, he will be the first to tell you, "What is amazing is not that I can do these things...it is amazing that I can teach ANYONE to do these things!"

Ron White's Memory in a Month uses this technique as a basis for his training.

In only 10 minutes a day, for 30 consecutive days, you can transform your mind from forgetful to unbelievable! Learn how to talk for hours without notes, memorize chapters of books word for word, and routinely memorize 100-digit numbers after hearing them only once!
