Скачать или смотреть Rena Yudkowsky - How Our Self-Talk Affects Our Memory

"Uh... Chana... I forgot something..."
​
That was Dave, a few hours ago, his head hung low, his big puppy dog eyes turned up.

The power cable for our laptops. He forgot. So I'm typing whilst trying to conserve as much battery as possible and running all my meetings on my phone. Why?

Cause we forget things. All of us do. We're human after all. (At least we remembered the toothpaste, which to be honest, is way more important on a couple's getaway, don't you think?)

Dave and I are away. Again. I think we're making it a habit. Whoopee! (Ahh... the benefits of portable work...)

But all these trips mean having to remember to pack a lot of little things. You'd think we had a list or something, no? Well, as of today, we do. Dave just got a killer deal on a new app via AppSumo and we've been creating our Trips-Prepping-and-Packing-List. (If you want to check out the software, send me a line and I'll email you the link.)

But before we got all proactive, a tirade of thoughts flooded my mind. How could we be so stupid? What am I going to do without a power cable? How could Dave do this to me? We've ruined our vacation! And we've talked about making a list in the past!

I assume just reading my rant is making your skin crawl and your posture sink. This kind of self-talk just sucks and makes us feel yuckola.

But, says Rena Yudkowsky, it also messes with our memory. (Ironic, no?) Rena is a professional memory coach and a phenomenal educator about aging, memory, and brain disorders. Through her platform, Memory Matters, he teaches online memory improvement courses to mid-lifers and seniors.

And I get to interview her LIVE tomorrow November 11th at 5pm IST/ 10am EST. I'm curious to get some tips on how we can remember things better, especially when our work depends on it!
