Within seconds, the brain has to be able to pull information like telephone numbers or dates. But our minds do not always allow us to retrieve the memories when we need them. Sometimes it's trivial, like when we tear the house apart looking for the glasses that have been sitting on our heads the whole time. Other times these lapses in memories can be more severe like when we forget that the boss just went through a messy divorce after asking how his wife is. Thankfully you do not have to live with a memory that is not working quite as well as it once did. There are ways to improve your memory. It does not matter if you are a college student studying for an important test or someone who is worried about forgetting a recent doctor's appointment, there are a few things everyone can do to improve their memory. You remember the old bit of tying a string around your finger to remember something, dont you? While the action is funny, the reasoning for it makes sense. By putting something in your environment slightly askew, you can create a visual reminder for yourself. The important thing is to take the time to create a strong visualization for why there is a string around your finger in the first place. Of course you dont have to use a string. You can use anything that will help you to remember what it is that you are trying to remember. You might want to switch a ring, bracelet or watch from one hand to the other. Or you can use an object in your environment. For instance, if you are driving to work and need to remember that on the way home from work you have to pick up your dry cleaning, try placing something on your dashboard blocking your view of the road after you park the car. When you get back in to the car and are staring at a strange object, you will remember the dry cleaning. Another way to improve your memory is to use visualization and association when trying to remember something. This method requires you to turn words into images so that you remember the words better. For example, let's say that you need to remember that you have a doctors appointment at three in the afternoon. Take a moment and think of a visual image for three. Maybe this is the story of the "Three Little Pigs." Visualize those three little pigs waiting around in the doctors office reading magazines. Sometimes, the more unique the image, the easier it will be to remember. So when you think of your doctors appointment, you will immediately remember that it is at three oclock because of those funny pigs you are thinking of now. These are just some of the ways that you can improve your memory. If you put your tricks into action everyday, it will get to be a habit and you will begin to have an easier time remembering things that you once had a hard time with.
