can learn to enhance your memory imagination system by making your mind movies exciting and “sticky.” The way to do this is with the SEE principle.

The greatest secret to having a powerful memory is bringing information to life with your endless imagination.

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind. Envision your future so you can create a plan and work toward your goal. Habit 3: Put first things first. Prioritize the things that are important (have long-term impacts) but not urgent. Habit 4: Think win/win. Strive for mutually beneficial solutions. Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Listen empathetically to promote positive problem solving. Habit 6: Synergize. Teamwork will allow you to achieve goals you couldn’t have achieved alone. Habit 7: Sharpen the saw.

“Habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn’t a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.”
