In the July issue of Cosmo, the “Connecting” section had some pretty cool tips for remembering names:
- After you meet somebody, repeat their name during the course of your conversation. Be sure you repeat it again when saying your goodbyes.
- We humans remember faces very well (how many times do we say, “Where do I know that face from?”). Draw an association between the first letter of their name and a facial attribute… Bridgett with Blue eyes, Dennis with Dimples, Sandra with a Square jaw, etc.
- If they have the same name as someone else you know, find a way to bridge the two people physically. For example, if they wear their hair the same. If they share a name with a celeb or athlete – use the same system.
The magazine used the following as their source: Gary Small, MD, Author of The Longevity Bible.
Oh, and the same issue of Cosmo also gave this advice: You can get Beach Hair without the beach by Filling a spray bottle with 8 ounces of water, then adding 2 Tablespoons of sea salt (it encourages waves, of course). Finally squirt in a dab of gel for extra hold and sheen. Shake, spritz on, and air-dry.
But you already knew that.

I’m going to test it out, myself. I’m even worse at remembering names than I am at remembering dates. How I ever did well in History is beyond me!
