hi,These are tips,may help yuou.Try them. General guidelines to improve memory In addition to exercising your brain, there are some basic things you can do to improve your memory: 1 Pay attention.. Pay You can’t remember something if you never learned it, and you can’t learn something — that is, encode it into your brain — if you don’t pay enough attention to it. It takes about eight seconds of intense focus to process a piece of information into your memory. If you’re easily distracted, try to receive information in a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted.[b] 2. Tailor information acquisition to your learning style. Most people are visual learners; they learn best by reading or otherwise seeing what it is they have to know. But some are auditory learners who learn better by listening. They might benefit by recording information they need and listening to it until they remember it. 3. Involve as many senses as possible. Even if you’re a visual learner, read out loud what you want to remember. If you can recite it rhythmically, even better. Try to relate information to colors, textures, smells and tastes. The physical act of rewriting information can help imprint it onto your brain. 4. Relate information to what you already know. Connect new data to information you already remember, whether it’s new material that builds on previous knowledge, or something as simple as an address of someone who lives on a street where you already know someone. 5. Organize information. Write things down in address books and datebooks and on calendars; take notes on more complex material and reorganize the notes into categories later. Use both words and pictures in learning information. 6. Understand and be able to interpret complex material. For more complex material, focus on understanding basic ideas rather than memorizing isolated details. Be able to explain it to someone else in your own words. 7. Rehearse information frequently and “over-learn”. Review what you’ve learned the same day you learn it, and at intervals thereafter. What researchers call “spaced rehearsal” is more effective than “cramming.” If you’re able to “over-learn” information so that recalling it becomes second nature, so much the better. 8. Be motivated and keep a positive attitude. Tell yourself that you want to learn what you need to remember, and that you can learn and remember it. Telling yourself you have a bad memory actually hampers the ability of your brain to remember, while positive mental feedback sets up an expectation of success. http://helpguide.org/life/improving_memory.htm All the best and have a nice time.

I have been reading and watching commercials of brain food products lately. there are so many in the market. There are also tutorials on how to remember things and how to store them as memory. The one thing that I do is I have this electronic organizer so as to not forget my appointments and important data.

many ways used by people to perform activities or how to add memory, I have a few tricks you might be interested. 1. Relaxation on a regular basis One of the most effective way to improve memory is to try to relax muscle tension throughout the body before learning something new. According to experts, muscle relaxation can reduce the anxiety that often one feels when trying to learn something new. 2. Organizing thoughts Establish the sequence information (classified information) will make things easier to remember. It will also facilitate the brain to recall what they have learned and known. 3. Keep your health Certainly, health problems can disrupt memory. A study showed that in a period of 25 years, men with hypertension will lose their cognitive abilities up to twice the normal blood pressure than men. Research also shows that at the age of 70s, the person will not be easy to decreased cognitive abilities if they remain physically active.

Well, a few proven ways are: 1. Look at a Black spot for 30 seconds everyday for 2 weeks. 2. To remember something; ex- "a tough name".. repeat that name only once for 3 days simultaneously. 3. Listen to Piano music; ex-mozart, beethoven for 10 minutes everyday for 2 weeks. 4. Arrange your day into properly planned time-slots. Once you get the hang of it, you will automatically stop forgetting things. and finally my favorite.. 5. Just go for a small vacation, and relax your body and mind... And observe that once you are back from your vacation, your memory if Fresh as a fresh Orange...!! :)
