Productivity Tips for Aural Learners
On Wednesday I mentioned different learning styles in connection with hand writing vs. typing. I'm a big proponent of using productivity techniques that suit the way you already behave and think.

It's hard enough to make new habits. Don't make it harder by trying to change fundamental behavior patterns at the same time. Go with the flow, I say.

Here are some ideas for aural learners.
  • Use an electronic recorder to capture to do's and anything else you want to remember. There are lots of these around nowadays, and like all other electronic devices, they keep getting smaller. A friend of mine has one she wears on a lanyard around her neck, the way some people tote around their jump drives. That way it's even more available than a notebook or cell phone.
  • When you put something down, tell yourself out loud what you're doing. This really helps! You can whisper if you don't want to be overheard talking to yourself. Say, “I'm putting the keys on the kitchen counter.” Then, listen to the sound of the keys contacting the counter; this is an important part of creating an aural memory chunk. If you're attuned to sound, you will know it sounds different from laying the keys on the bureau or the dining room table.
