The only number i still recall is my mother's!
The ability to deal
with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay
more for that ability than for any other under the sun.
From Lucy Kellway, FT- The ability to remember people strikes me as a bigger asset than emotional intelligence at work. Most of us don’t especially want empathy in the office, but everyone wants to be remembered. The more someone is able to recall chapter and verse of all small talk exchanged at previous meetings, the more you are inclined to like and trust them. It is not just a skill for politicians: it’s for everyone.
One day, probably very soon, wearable technology will do the job for us by recognising faces and connecting them to a database of trivia. But by then it will be worthless. The reason we want people to remember us is because it is so hard to do so.

Everything else you can look at Google and your Outlook/Agenda, you don't need to remember almost nothing you can check when you need. I only remember my mother Cell number it's the only thing i still recall!
But as Lucy Kellaway says to recall people and be nice is very very important these days and one cannot replace that with a computer. When i see someone i know if we met before, sometimes i don't recall the name asap and that is a shame. I don't ever forget a face and that is very good.
I would like to have a trick to recall names.
Be nice or be fired!
