How to Make Information Stick (And Stop Forgetting Everything!)

How to Make Information Stick (And Stop Forgetting Everything!)

This morning, I walked into the kitchen with a clear purpose—only to completely forget why I was there. But ask me to sing a song from 10 years ago? I can belt out every lyric without missing a beat.

Why does our brain remember some things effortlessly while others disappear in seconds? The answer lies in?encoding—the process our brain uses to store information so we can recall it later. And the best part? We can actually?train?our brains to encode better, helping us retain what matters and ditch what doesn't.

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.
