Dial One Phone Number from Memory Every Day
Whether you own a smart phone or a regular "old fashioned" cell phone, these everyday devices have made the habit of memorizing phone numbers a thing of the past. While the convenience of programmed phone numbers can be quite handy, it's not doing much of a favor to your brain.
