Memory is vastly characterized by how important things are deemed. If something is unimportant but noticed it can go forgotten and if things are occurring but not on the level one is even paying attention to then they might have well never happened; like the way the bottom of your foot feels right now. The most successful student I have ever met are those who have never studied for tests because they don’t need to. Each lecture, every word from a professor is totally on their mind as completely important and a valuable part of their life. These people are highly engaged conversationists and completely present. Myself, I am spacey and quite often not in the same conversation, room, dimension as people I am right next to so things slip my mind. So often I see people who are dismissing words as soon as they leave the speakers mouth. Teachers who are dubbed as unimportant as not people one can recall easily anything from. Treating every conversation as if it matters greatly sounds strange to those unaccustomed and the only strategy to those in that habit. The advice I have to give is treat being engaged as an engagement. If the person of your dreams proposed to you, each syllable would be unforgettable and unfathomably important. Brains don’t have a limit to this important. We have nearly unlimited space in our minds, it is just a question of when the will of the that brain starts engaging the world around it.
