How to remember things?

im a really forgetful person and being a forgetful person has cost me alot and my parents go off at me, any1 got any tips on how to remember things (not like write it down or sumthing)

 

Perhaps I should make a guide on this.

First thing is though, you SHOULD write stuff down.

 

I would probably get a small booklet, put it in your pocket, and write reminders to yourself, or put a calendar on your computer and stuff like that, it always works for me :]

 

guys i just said how to remember things without writing stuff down

 

Well, how do you remember stuff without writing it down?

Just just do...

If you're a quickly-distracted mind by nature, then that is not your fault, it's your parent's for not helping you with it.

Anyways, some commonly used "games" to remember stuff are:

-> Give stuff you need to remember a "place" in your house.

In other words, if you need to remember to "call your dad about something", then imagine a cellphone lying somewhere in your house. Whenever you then "think" about your house (which is the place you come most often), you then recall the cellphone, and should also recall the fact you have to call your dad.

-> Give it a more important meaning.

If you have to "call your dad about something" (Insert whatever), make it extremely dramatic, but believe it aswell. Or atleast get into the situation.

If you DON'T call your dad this weekend, he'll die...

Stupid stuff like that atleast get you on track.

At the end of the day, you can't "improve" your mind, or not in a conventional way. There is certain professional mind tests you can take, but they can only do so much.

Your best bet is simply, as said before, having a pocket-diary and writing everything down.

I also read that eating alot of FISH helps increase the brain capacity. (Don't expect miracles tough)

 

The trick I use when remembering things is, finding a word that Sounds/Rhymes the same as the word you are trying to remember.
Example: I want to remember the band name Korn, I think of the vegetable corn. This trick helps me out alot.

If this doesn't work, try google/yahoo search for more help. I'm sure there a plenty of methods out there, that will best suit your needs.

 

Notepad, sticky notes, phone alarams ect ect.

 

Organise something, whether it is your work, or your files on your computer, get them organized like in if you need to recall you can find the files easily.

 

thanks these are the answers i r looking 4
