I remember when I first went through the class; I thought it was great! I also found that there were still some seemingly simple things that I still did not recall, for example, people’s phone extensions, meeting times and directions.
So I came up with a few simple systems that have even farther enhanced the usage of memory training in my life, and I thought I’d share them with you!
