Memory Tips!

[anirban3598]

Exercising memory and using memory test will help a lot. One can buy memory books or give online free test to increase their memory power.

Some practical examples can be:

Trying to remember what you have seen in a room when you go out to a friend's/relative's place. Test yourself and see how many objects you got right when you go back in the same room.

If you are trying to remember a list of facts or words, try using a mnemonic. A mnemonic is a memory tool which helps you to remember complex information in a simpler, more easily remembered form. A mnemonic might take the form of a rhyme or story that you tell yourself to remember facts; or you could take the first letters from a list of words and make one word out of them.

Test yourself on five phone numbers of your friends/relatives. Try to remember them next time you're making phone calls, without looking them up. Once they are firmly in your memory, add to them gradually.

next time when you go to grocery shop and you are looking the shelves, try to remember the prices of the items that you are going to buy in your head. When you are unpacking your shopping, test yourself and check your answers using your receipt.

** above listed methods are just simple ways to improve your memory and keep your memory active and fit.

I once worked in a supermarket where we had to memorise the prices for ALL the items in the shop! when people came through the checkout we had to enter the prices of the items they'd bought through the till we were tested regularly with a 'test trolley'

I memorised all the prices by using visualistation i knew where the item was on the shelf and the prices of the items next to it, it was just like looking at a picture with all the details in my head.
very clever

I know I have the memory problem so often. I can not even remember my phone number at times. Since we have all of these gadgets that do it for us.
