Today in this issue we will be talking about short-term memory, or "working" memory as it is sometimes called. In future issues we will take a look at long-term memory.
The most important finding from the research is that memory is effected by the usage levels of our neuron patterns. In other words, if we, as we get older, use certain neuron connections and patterns less and less, those patterns literally atrophy, and it is much more difficult for nerve impulses (thoughts) to go down those pathways. This is a problem that is absolutely easily remedied! The old adage, "Use it or lose it!" vital for you. As we get older, we become more consistent in our daily lives, with certain patterns of activity developing. We drive on fewer roads, we get stuck in the same rut day after day, the same activities. This is bad for the brain! It is like trying to be a world class weightlifter by only exercising your left arm and nothing more. It doesn't work. What should you do about it? Get out of your rut. Drive to work a different way every day. Read different magazines, take new trips, try new things. And above all, exercise ALL of your brain. Do you read the paper every day? Read one page upside-down! Get out of your thinking box. Learn about things you never knew about before. Practice, Practice, practice! We have many books in our Annotated Bibliography that will give you over 200 exercises that you can do to keep your brains neuron patterns and connections strong!
Another thing that you can do is get smarter that your brain! As we get older our brain tries to outsmart us. It is a biological fact that the brain cannot store energy. It constantly needs to replenish its energy after it performs a given function. When we get a great idea or thought up from our nonconscious neurons to our conscious level, it is first placed into short-term memory. Unless this thought or idea is then taken by us and put into long-term memory, the idea will disappear or dissipate within 30 seconds to 12 minutes. Poof! Never to be heard from again.
It takes energy to move this thought to long-term memory, and as we get older, our brain tries to get smarter than us and not make this effort. Our brain is kinda sitting up there in a Lazy-Boy with its feet up and a beer, and doesn't want to use the energy to get up and move your though over to long-term memory. That takes energy, and the brain no longer wants to be bothered. The brain is getting lazy.
You can fix that! Check out some of the exercises you can do to get your brain up out of that chair, in the books in our bibliography!
Another outside tool that you can use to GREATLY increase your production, achievement, and success, is a technique that I personally have found to be totally invaluable.
OK so your brain is getting lazy huh? And the worst about this is that whenever you get those great ideas for solving a problem or making money, your nonconscious brain doesn't care what you're doing at the time. It just sends the message upstairs to your conscious brain. And from research, it is now known that every such idea first goes into short-term memory. This is BAD! You may be too busy at the time to do the things necessary to move it over into long term memory.
Well stop beating yourself up about this! It has been said that ALL of us, each year, have about 4 ideas, that if we acted upon any one of them with persistence, that idea could make us a million dollars!
So why take the risk of ever losing one of these ideas again? Do what I have done. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I now have in my possession, a digital voice recorder. ALWAYS! Anytime that you get an idea, put it on the recorder, and once a day, or once a week download it to your computer, and if you have voice recognition software as I have, turn it into text that you can store, read and act upon forever! [so long as the computer doesn't crash and you have it backed up!]
I have found this to be an absolute goldmine idea! Stop being negative about your memory! Do something about it! Exercise that brain! And implement technology to your advantage. The science of Permanent Self-Motivation doesn't all have to come from within your brain! Some of it can come from your Olympus 2000 22 hour voice recorder and IBM ViaVoice Advance Voice Recognition System (About $190 and $100 respectively-check online stores!)
