Remember Names At Meetings By Making A Map

One of those “I wish I had thought of that” tips from 43 Folders. When you are in a meeting (seminar, conference, whatever), make a little map of the room and locate participants, with their relevant details. If you are anything like me, then by the time the meaty part of a seminar comes around, you would have already forgotten everyone’s names and contexts, so this tip might come in handy.

Of course, during the introduction and “say something about yourself time” your busy note-taking and drawing may have made you look like a CIA-spy, but hopefully that would be covered up by the grace of having remembered people’s names.

I’ll be trying this at the next possible opportunity.
