How To Improve Your Memory

This week you’ll learn about how memories work and how you can improve yours. Whether it’s for specific info or general ones like remembering people’s names or happy moments.

Memory is really a superpower. Your life is a bunch of memories bundled together. If you can have a depth of knowledge and a wide array of emotional experiences, it’s nothing short of an amazing life.

Memory can be divided into short, medium, and long-term. The first 2 are formed in your hippocampus.

If you’re walking on the street, you’re receiving a lot of info. Buildings, numbers, people, colors, etc. But you don’t care about 95% of that info. So, your hippocampus acts like a filter. And stores info that might be relevant for the short term.

But it doesn’t keep them forever. Like, you can remember what you ate yesterday. But if I ask about last Monday, you probably forgot.

Why? Because the cerebellum saves the info for the long term.

So it looks at the info in the hippocampus and selects a few things to save for later. On what basis does it choose? Well, your brain doesn’t speak English. It has electrical signals. To know what to remember, your brain looks at whether the neuron-firing pattern is worthy of remembering. It considers your active neurochemicals, emotions, hormones, location, etc.

This week you’ll learn about all those to improve your memory. It’s a great skill to have. Whether it’s in your personal or professional life. You’ll learn:

1. How emotions affect memories

2. How to keep your memory sharp

3. How to stamp down new info forever

4. How to grow your hippocampus
