"There are some people out there with great memories and excellent interpersonal skills. We've all probably met someone like this.... They seem to remember your name, your face, and little details about your life and past conversations way more than the average person. And we all LOVE being around these people. They make us feel important and valued, because it could be a year since you've seen them (and you only met them once), and they will recall specific details about your life and ask about them ("How is your grandmother doing? Last time we talked, she had just fallen and broken her hip. I hope she is doing ok.").
I totally want to be one of those people. This realization hit me all the more in the past few months as I have acquired the gradual realization that I am vey much a half-way wife, mom, and working professional. I get so consumed in work in the morning that I'll walk upstairs for lunch with my family and ask, "How was your morning? Did you have fun at the park?" But my mind is still 99% on work. My husband will answer and I won't even hear him, nor remember that I even asked the question in the first place. Five minutes later, I ask the same dumb question and my husband will look at me like, "What?" I recongize that in order to be a more meaningful person in this world, I've got to change that half-invested side of my attitude. If I am in a conversation, I need to be 100% focused and committed to that conversation, to that person. I need to let those around me know that when they tell me something, I am listening, I genuinely care, and I will remember.
Hence this book! It is full of excellent exercises to strengthen your memory, to become one of those great people who make others feel so valued...all becuase of an acute awareness and a strong memory.
I'm still in the middle of the book, but I am truly invested into trying everything so that I can improve. The book is great becuase it provides little exercises to help you see immediate progress. You want to know my grocery list from TWO WEEKS ago? I decided to venture out to the store with no list in hand just to try myself out: - sugar - vanilla - hot dog buns - bread - basting brush - floss - prescription - waffles - aluminum foil - face wash
Not quite changing the world with my memory yet, but I'm hoping this will help. Next time we have a conversation, I promise I'll remember!"
