3. Don’t take photos of everything on your phone.

, This bit of advice might seem unusual considering how frequently we use our phones these days, especially when it comes to shooting pictures. According to Linda Henkel’s research from Fairfield University, striving to capture everything on camera would actually cause you to miss a lot of crucial facts. The issue is that when you take a picture, you are more concerned with the picture than with what you are actually capturing. As a result, you will have a memorable photo or video, but your real impressions will be quite dull. During the experiment, undergraduate students were told to take a stroll around a museum and take notes or photos of objects they liked. Their recall of these items was tested the next day.
