In this episode of?Cognitively Speaking, I'm diving into?E for Encoding—how our brains decide what to keep, what to forget, and how you can use science-backed strategies to make information stick. Whether you're leading a team, prepping for a big presentation, or just trying to remember your grocery list, these simple techniques can help you encode smarter, not harder.
