Step 1: Pay attention
第一步:集中注意力
When you decide that you want to remember something, it becomes the object of your focus - you pay ATTENTION to it. This allows you to imprint the memory onto your brain.
当你决定想要记住某事时,它就变成你专注的目标——你注意的焦点。这会让你在大脑中加深记忆痕迹。
Step 2: Association
第二步:联系
Make a picture in your mind of the item that you want to remember.Link the piece of information you want to recall to something permanent or something that you know very well.
在你的头脑中把要记住的东西想成一张图片。与你想回忆一些永久的或你非常了解的事物链接。
Step 3: Practice
第三步:实践
Let's imagine that you want to remember to post a letter on the way to work. First, you DECIDE to remember that letter. Next you make a picture in your mind of that letter. Link it to something that you will come across before you leave for work, for example, see in your mind's eye your inside door handle and picture the letter being attached to your door handle. These three principles can be used to remember almost anything, whether it is a person's name, a shuffled deck of cards or a list of tasks.
让我们想像一下,你想在上班的路上去寄封信。首先,你决定要记住那封信。之后脑中浮现出信的模样。链接到你上班前的一些事物,例如,在你的脑海中浮现门把手和这封信附着在门把手上。这三条原则可以用来记住大多数事情,不管是一个人的名字,一组卡片或工作列表。
