Billionaire and… good memory
Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and one of the richest and most influential people in the world, revealed in a post on his blog, Gates Notestechniques to improve memory capacity, creativity and cognitive function. The publication is titled “Training Your Brain to Remember”.
Thus, the businessman says that his memorization capacity is not related to photographic memory, but rather to ancient visualization techniques.
And it is based on Joshua Foer’s book, “Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything”, or, in its translation into Portuguese, “The Art and Science of Memorizing Everything”, Gates bases his post.

How does the technique used by Gates work?
Bill Gates cites an example of a memorization method. In it, people imagine a kind of “memory palace.” In this technique, individuals relate information to objects, people, and places within a house with several rooms.
He states that, since we have a great visual memory ability, linking information to images becomes beneficial when we want to remember something. Therefore, we should practice this technique regularly, as Bill Gates states in his blog.
The founder of one of the largest technology companies in the world still admits that it is not easy to adapt to this technique. He says that it can take months to develop this ability, but that it must be practiced and taken seriously in order to improve.
Ultimately, with this technique, we can use our brain more effectively to think and solve problems. Follow and practice this tip to, who knows, become a master of memorization.
