Turning a name into a picture (Day 11) only solves half the problem. The other half: where do you store that picture so it comes back the moment you see the person again? The answer is the face itself. Pick one distinguishing feature, sharp eyebrows, a strong jaw, a dimple, and pin your name-picture directly onto it, interacting with it.
Meeting someone named Baker with a noticeably strong chin: picture bread dough rising out of their chin. The stranger and more physical the interaction with the feature, the faster it locks in. Next time you see that chin, the bread dough (and “Baker”) surfaces automatically.
One rule that saves you constantly: always pick a feature that won’t change, not their haircut or their shirt color, something structural to the face. Practice below by matching invented names to invented features.
