Found Time As Well As My Keys

Where are My Keys is a quick, deceptively easy book that provides readers with quality ideas and techniques to increase memory in a world of short attention spans and a love of multi-tasking. Marcus believes much of our forgetfulness is caused by doing too many things at one time and not focusing on what we need to remember. Recently my rush to get in and out of my accountant's office and still make my train caused me to throw my keys in my briefcase instead of jamming them in my pocket. Precious minutes lost as I ripped through my briefcase looking for them. Needless to say, the first chapter I read in Where are My Keys was the chapter on over-multi-tasking. Are you a multi-tasker? If you said "no", think again, or better yet, take the short quiz Marcus provides in her chapter on multi-tasking. I cringed as her questions pegged me. Thankfully there were tips on how to really get the most from my time. Fewer trips to another part of the office only to ask "now why did I come over here?" has given me more time. Since I have been putting my glasses back on my desk every time I take them elsewhere, my cries of "where are my glasses?" have been silenced. I know where they are...in their LOVE(tm) location. My sunglasses and keys also have permanent homes. At 106 pages, this book is a short read jam-packed with ideas on keeping memory sharp (or making it sharper).

A book that actually helped me

The nice part of this self-help book is that it actually worked for me. It is a well-written, fun read with practical suggestions as to how to improve one's memory. Judy's suggestions as to how to remember names and how to make use of routines are two of many ideas that I have personally put into use.
