10 Ideas to Help You Remember
by Maria Gracia
You are busy and you have tons of things to do.
How can you possibly remember it all?
Having a sharp memory recall can be as simple as
finding ways to help jog your memory throughout
the day. Here are 10 quick ideas:
WRITE IT DOWN. With the amount of things you
have to remember in any given day, why should
you try to stuff it all into your memory bank? When you want to
remember something, the very best thing to do is write it down. Then,
when you need to recall it, it will be there for you in an instant.
KEEP IT TOGETHER. When you write down things you want to
remember, keep them in one consistent place. Otherwise, you're
going to spend a lot of time looking for your notes.
MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH. Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep,
and exercise. These are all important for your memory, staying
focused and being alert.
RECORD YOUR THOUGHTS. Sometimes you might want to
remember something, but it's impossible for you to write it down, such
as when you're driving. A little hand held tape recorder is a wonderful
gadget to carry around with you and record your thoughts, or your
parking space number, or a phone number you see on a billboard.
CALL YOURSELF. If you're at the office, and you want to do
something when you arrive home, call your answering machine and
leave yourself a message. When you get home, you'll listen to your
message and remember exactly what you wanted to do.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. If you keep saying you have a bad
memory, you'll probably continue to have a bad memory. It's important
to have a motivated, I CAN remember attitude.
SEND YOURSELF E-MAIL REMINDERS. There are many free e-
mail reminder services available. You simply type in what you want to
remember, such as a birthday, anniversary or event, and you then
receive an e-mail reminder when the date is approaching.
POST STICKY NOTES. Those wonderful, little sticky notes can be
amazing memory helpers. Want to remember something before you
leave the house? Jot it down on a Post-It Note and stick it on the
inside of your door. You'll be sure to see it as you're getting ready to
walk out. Have to make an urgent call first thing in the morning?
Leave a Post-It Note on your telephone.
SET TIMERS AND ALARMS. Take advantage of alarm clocks and
timers throughout the day. Have to take the clothes out of the wash at
3:00? Set your alarm clock to remind you. Want to leave for the
basketball game by 6:15? Set your timer to beep a few minutes
before.
USE VISUAL REMINDERS. Visual reminders can help you
remember and focus. I especially like visual reminders for
remembering your goals. If your goal is to take a trip to a beautiful
island in a few years, keep a magazine photograph of the island right
on your desk. If your goal is to own your own business one day, find a
picture or ornament that will help remind you of this goal each day.
