Here’s your name memorization technique for the ages. Brains memorize and incorporate info by connecting it to other information. You’re trying to memorize Steve by brute force assimilation. Stop. You already know 4 other Steve’s. Think of people by the other people they share a name with, suddenly it’s stupidly easy to memorize names, and the more names have memorized the easier it is to learn new ones.

Same omg. Just now I was sitting with a guy outside the locked office room waiting for someone to open it (we don’t have keys) and I still don’t know his name despite I’ve known him for a year
