How good is your memory?

How good is your memory?

Sorry, what the question again?

I always play Memory with faces.

My memory is notoriously terrible—thank goodness for virtual assistants! But when I really need to remember something, I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve: I turn it into a game. I once read a book on memory techniques, and believe it or not, it worked like a charm. Suddenly, I could recall names, lists, numbers, and even the tiniest details of objects. I even won a few memory contests—the kind where they lay out 30 or 40 items on a table, give you two minutes to study them, and then see how many you can recall. I managed to remember 100% of the items, which made for a pretty impressive party trick!
