Make It Up

Wordsmiths, you may enjoy this one. It’s a little more complex than the previous ones, but it’s enjoyable and memorable, both of which are important for memory recall. This technique involves creating new words out of existing ones.

I’ve found that it works particularly well for remembering names and information of people I’ve just met. As an example, if I had to meet a man named Jeffrey, who was extremely hyperactive, I may end up creating a hybrid of the words “Jeffrey” and “energetic” into “Enerjeffrey.”

A woman named Jennifer who has beautiful, flowing locks may become Jennif-hair. A girl called Zoey who enjoys playing the guitar could turn into Zotar, or Guitoey. In this way, I link the person’s name with an important feature and can remember both. It often also inspires a bit of a laugh.

Exercise:

It’s not difficult to start creating hybrid memory words of your own.

● Choose two things; a name and a feature, a number and a name, and so on.

● Play around with the two, and see if you can come up with a memorable word.

● If not, see if another word would work.

● Keep playing around with it until you come up with something fun.
