Some people naturally have better memories than others. If youâre one of those people that struggles to remember as much as youâd like, donât despair.
Your potential to have a great memory might be better than you think! Itâs possible that you could be remembering a lot more in a few short days with just a few tips and tricks.
Try these tips to enhance your memory:
1. Reduce stress. Find some stress-relieving activities that work for you and do these activities each day. A relaxed, peaceful, quiet mind is better at storing and retrieving information.
2. Use mnemonic devices.
Mnemonic devices are something weâre all familiar with. For example, HOMES is a common mnemonic device for remembering the great lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
⢠FACE is a common mnemonic used by young musicians to remember the notes on the spaces in the treble clef. đľ
⢠Make up your own mnemonic devices for the things you need to remember
3. Read out loud.đ
If you want to remember a list of items, read them out loud. Need to memorize a poem for school? Read it out loud. Reading silently or thinking gives you a single exposure.
Reading out loud gives you multiple exposures. You read it, say it, and hear it.
4. Repetition.đđđ
Repetition is the key to mastering anything. Reading through a list of German vocabulary words once isnât as effective as doing it 10 times.
5. Visualize.đ
Remembering the word âbicycleâ is easier if you visualize a bicycle. An even better option is to visualize an outrageous looking bicycle.đ˛
6. Practice regularly.
Force yourself to memorize something each day. It could be a grocery list, a random list or words, or items in a photo. Test yourself. Stretch your ability to memorize.
Daily practice leads to fast improvement.
7. Spaced repetition.
Better yet, space out your study. Studying for five minutes multiple times a day is more effective than studying for a single, longer period of time.
8. Get sufficient sleep.
Your brain đ§ needs to process and file new information. Itâs important to get enough sleepđ´ if you want your memory to be at its best. How much is enough? Most experts will suggest 7-9 hours â° is a good number for adults. Experiment and see what works the best for you.
9. Train your brain.
As we age, we tend to move around less and tax our brains less. Your brain needs a daily workout. Read something challenging. Play chess. âď¸ Do crossword puzzles.𧊠Try to complete a maze as quickly as possible. Count backwards from 1,000 by 14âs. Push yourself.
10. Get some exercise.đď¸
Physical exercise is important, too. You feel different emotionally and intellectually after you exercise. Itâs because you are different. Every part of your body benefits from exercise, including your brain.
11. Write it down.âď¸
Things you write down are easier to remember. If you want to remember something, write it down over and over.
12. Eat berries.đ
Research has shown that berries are great for enhancing and preserving memory. This is a simple tip thatâs enjoyable, too.
The ability to remember things fades with age, but everyone can have a better memory than they do today.
