The more I explore personal development techniques, the more I realize that it comes down to taking control over different aspects of your life. We're constantly reacting to life's situations instead of taking control, like an unmanned ship drifting with the ocean currents.
Memory is no different. If you want your memory to perform like a well-behaved dog(borrowing Paul's analogy), you have to train it. The biggest excuse is that it takes too much work. How much work does it
take to remember information currently? And then multiply that over a lifetime.
It comes down to accepting mediocrity and continue to drift, or to take control.
