5 Simple Memory Tricks
It’s
frustrating not remembering where you put important items or forgetting basic
details. Use these tricks to keep track
of things:
v Cluster
numbers: Help your brain process the numbers “2, 8, 4,
9” by clustering them into “twenty eight, forty nine.”
v Say it out
loud:
Tell yourself that you’re locking the door as you leave. Repeat that you’re going to the kitchen for
scissors either out loud or to yourself.
This will keep you from becoming distracted.
v Convert
grocery lists to meals: If you need hot dogs, milk, mustard, cereal
and buns, you can think breakfast (cereal and milk) and lunch (mustard, hot
dogs, and buns).
v Designate a
place: Store your cell phone and keys in the same
place close to your front door. This way
you’ll know exactly where they are the next time you’re running late for an
appointment.
v Use visual
triggers: For example, leaving a piece of paper on your
car seat before going into the office will remind you to get gas before you
return home. Or, putting a DVD by the
front door reminds you to return it to the rental store before you leave the
house.
