MEMORIZE THE DAY-OF-THE-WEEK - DATES TECHNIQUE
If you’re reading this book, you’re probably a person who believes in self improvement and if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. How right you are! Improving your memory is a matter of applying tools and techniques to get the desired outcome.
Many times, the people around us make judgments about our memory. Men are often accused of being forgetful about “important” facts such as anniversary dates, what their wife or girlfriend wore on their first date or maybe, forgetting to stop by the store on the way home.
In addition, the judgments about us get worse as we grow older. An active mind and an active body are the best ways to combat the effects of age on memory.
People can perceive you in a different light, if they believe that you have superior mental powers. Conversely those same people will perceive you quite negatively if you forget their names or birthdays. In short, having a good memory is an essential asset when getting along with others.
There is a simple trick to employ to convince others that you have a “superior” memory or even a photographic memory. It’s called the “Days of the Week” Dates technique.
Announce to everyone that you can tell them what day of the week any given date falls on, during the current calendar year. Then ask them to test you. It’s quite easy actually. All it takes is remembering a short sequence of numbers.
The human brain cannot memorize large chunks of information, but it can quite readily digest smaller chunks in groups of 4 to 7. Ever wonder why your Social Security number is broken up into three small chunks of numbers rather than one continuous stream? It’s the same thing with phone numbers. Memorizing a ten digit number seems daunting, but most of us can remember a phone number.
And now, on to the technique:
- For the current year, pick the digit that represents the first Sunday of January.
- Write that number down.
- Repeat for each month of the year, in order. This will give you a 12 digit number.
- Remember to break the 12 digit number into 4 chunks of three numbers.
- Memorize the sequence.
Imagine not only remembering friend's birthday but the day of the week it is on!
Let’s take the year 2004 as an example of the technique. The following numbers represent the date of the first Sunday in the given month:
Date of First Sunday
Month
4- January
1 - February
7 - March
4 - April
2 - May
6 - June
4 - July
1 - August
5 - September 5
3 - October 3
7 - November 7
5 - December 5
The number to memorize for the calendar year 2004 is: 417-426-415-375
Using the technique is straightforward, after you have the number sequence above memorized. Add or subtract days based on what day of the week they ask you about. A week is 7 days long, so simply add 7 to get the dates of all the Sundays, until you get within a few days of the target date.
Now, let’s say that someone says to you: “Okay, what day of the week does Oct 22nd fall on in 2004?”
October is the 10th month of the year. So, we count on our fingers (or in our head) to find which digit of the 12 digit number is the 10th one. “3” should be the answer. Next, knowing that there are 7 days in a week, we know that Sundays in October fall on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st. We’ve simply “added 7” to our memorized first Sunday date (3) to come up with the dates for every Sunday in the month.
So now we know we want the “22nd” – well that’s two days before the 24th – which means that the 22nd of October, 2004, should fall on a Friday. A quick check of the calendar and viola! October 22nd really does fall on Friday!
If you really want to blow their minds, memorize last year’s “number” and next year’s “number.”
When using this cute trick, it’s important not to give away your secret. Throughout history, famous magicians never gave away their secrets. People don’t like to be fooled and will consider you “smarter” if you seem to be able to instantaneously produce the information. So keep this trick a secret!
To insure no one gives you a phony date, employ the following poem to remember how many days are in each month:
Thirty days have September, April, June, and November.All the rest have thirty-one, except for February –that’s the weird one! Don’t forget about leap year!
