I very much agree. I take a moment to attempt to commit a person's name to memory when meeting them for the first time, and then using that person's name later in the conversation. This seems to be very important for interpersonal communications but is so rarely done. Most people ask "what's your name again?" which is precisely how I commit the person's name to my memory. I ask that question and answer it in my mind after I hear their name.

I have struggled with this one in the past. I am getting better. very important.

You are right. But what about problem solving?
