I had success with putting these kinds of things into anki flashcards for a while but didn't keep up with it. I need to start that again.

How did you do this? Did you take photos of the person and include it in the deck?

I want to do something similar to this, but haven't really nailed down how it would work ('hi nice to meat you IanCal! Could I, uh... take a photo of you?')

I bet even without a picture, the act of writing down the name (or even better a name and a couple details about the person) would be enough to lock the name into my memory. Maybe I need to start that too...

Not with faces, but names and important or useful info (what they do, kids, interests).

The difficulty is remembering until I would get a chance to do it.
