Improving your memory--a few suggestions
« on: December 22, 2013, 08:24:27 am »
These seem like very good tips for improving your memory:

~Follow routines, such as leaving your car keys, glasses, and cell phone in the same place every day so that finding them becomes a “no brainer.”

~Slow down and pay attention to what you are doing to give your brain’s memory systems enough time to create an enduring memory.
 
~Avoid distracting or noisy environments and multitasking — the major memory busters in today’s fast-paced society.

~Get enough sleep, reduce stress, and check with your doctor to see if any of your medications affect memory — all three are potential memory spoilers.
