Memory
Anyone ever informed you that you're not as daft as you think you are?And then does that little voice in your head ask, “How do you know how daft I think I am?”We all feel silly from time to time. We've all done foolish things, and questioned our brainpower or indeed, [...]
Memory
I had a ‘phone call recently from someone who’d bought Pass Exams Easily – a Book and DVD set I wrote for Brand Financial Training. He wanted to know something along the lines of, “Do I really need to go to all of that palaver in order to learn something?” [...]
Memory
A lot of people are so focused on getting the information into their heads, they don’t pay enough attention to keeping it there. And let’s face it, there’s no point in learning something unless you’ve then got it accessible to you later on. Especially if you’re learning it in order [...]
Memory
You really can sniff rosemary for a better memory. Seems Shakespeare was on to something: “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance.” And he was absolutely right. It’s not a ‘mature female spouse’s story’ after all. (I’m guessing it’s not politically correct to use the expression ‘old wives’ tail’?) The smell of [...]

Memory
How to improve your performance No, not that performance! That’s maybe a conversation for another time!! But at work, how’s your performance when you’ve gone short of sleep?

Memory
Ever got to where you’re going, only to wonder what you’re doing there? It happens to all of us! And is it any wonder we can become a little forgetful, given the amount of information we have to cope with every day? I must admit, I do try to lessen [...]
Brain, Memory
You’ve heard me say a number of times, it’s no good expecting the material you need to learn to enter your head of its own accord, settle down into your memory banks and await your recall. You’ve got to actively manipulate the information in whatever way is appropriate for you, [...]
