Many people have trouble with remembering simple things. They either forget in the split second they think about something else or it stays there until they actually need to put the memory in use. And when they need it… brain freeze!

Simple Memory Tricks You Should Practice

Say you just finished meeting, you are told to complete certain tasks, on your way home, you repeat over and over what you need to do when you get home. You get home, shower, whatever you do, then you sit at your desk, stare at your computer… completely blanked out. Its “on the tip” of your tongue but won’t word out. Ah, you are screwed, you should have taken some notes! Oh, and where is the TV remote? your glasses? your keys?

- Here are memory tricks you should practice.

1. Visualization - this is one of the most important trick. Visualize. Everything! Look at the surrounds. Colors. If you need to remember a persons name, try imagining them doing something crazy (very crazy), you will be like ah, you are that girl that did that… in your head. Staple their name on their face. Relate the name to the person. Bill… smart, geeky… you get it… CEO type. We hope.

2. Make it a habit - Do it over and over, get used to it. Get used to taking notes. It will be hard in the beginning but later, you will be surprised. Don’t be lazy! Stick “Don’t Be Lazy” notes everywhere in your room. (I have that.)

3. Sing - Got a list of items for shopping? Make a song. Or relate it to a well known song. Rhythm would be nice.

4. ABCs - If you can’t remember a movie, person, or a place name - try reciting the alphabet. When you hit the letter of your movie, person or place name, it will automatically trigger.

5. Remember that - tell yourself to remember it. Say “remember that” and you will remember it.

6. Track & Trace - forgot your keys? Track and trace back where you walked, what you remember you did last, think about the surroundings.

7. Talk it out - say things you need to remember over and over again. The more times you say it, the more effectively your brain will store the information.

8. Incorporate - Use the above 7 tips and tricks together to remember that milk you have to get from Walgreens.
