Try To Remember….
Anything. Seriously. A New York Times article reported that computer devices are causing us to lose our memory. We literally don’t remember how to remember things, because we don’t NEED to remember things. We can always look up the information on our computer, cell phone or other device.
That’s where humor can help. In The Memory Book, authors Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas say that humor is a great way to recall information. When we imagine something outrageous, exaggerated or otherwise unreal, we remember it. It leaves an imprint on our minds because it is something so unusual that we can’t forget it.
Try it next time you may need to remember something. Or if you forget where you put your Blackberry.
