So the title doesn’t seem like a living book, but I really wasn’t sure where to place this post. I’m currently reading Getting Organized in the Google Era by Douglas Merrill. (Trying to cure some of my Luddite tendencies) Anyway, the first section of the book is more about how our brain functions than about practical organization tips. Merrill states that facts are easier to memorize when they are part of a story and he cites research to back it up.
Quote from page 20:
“The best way to encode something is to associate a story with it. Stories are much easier to remember than facts.”
Seems like Merrill is a CM advocate: I wonder if he knows it? I do recommend this book. Some of the advice is more pertinent to an executive or someone in a high pressure work environment, but the intro is fascinating and the rest has some information that I found helpful.
It’s fun to see all the current neurological research that backs up Charlotte, isn’t it? This happens to me often–I’m reading along and see something that concurs. It’s funny–my oldest read To Kill a Mockingbird this past year, and came to me at one point and wanted to know if the author was educated CM style because there was a passage that sounded like Charlotte. 🙂
