Almost every one of us is periodically faced with a problem when important and relevant information at one moment completely flies out of our heads, and all the vain efforts to remember the forgotten only exhaust and frustrate. The solution is simple - start exercising your brain and also remember a few tricks.
Instructions
Step 1
No matter how trite, but you must learn to memorize information so that it is not forgotten by you. The quality of the memorized will increase significantly if you associate it with a number of associations. This is especially true for something completely unfamiliar to you, for example, associations will be great helpers in learning a foreign language.
Step 2
How to build associations correctly? The whole secret is to keep the associative chain as simple and straightforward as possible. For example, in English the word "tights" sounds like "tights". Children at school are often given an association with the word "Chinese", continuing it with a linking explanation - "Chinese tights." When a child wants to remember the word "pantyhose" in English, he remembers Chinese tights, and then this association leads him to the correct answer.
Step 3
Tie information into one phenomenon. For example, you are standing in a supermarket and cannot remember what you needed to buy from the groceries. You will remember if you push away from the dish that you were going to cook today. By sorting it out according to its constituent ingredients, you can easily remember what you needed. In this case, there is no need to compile a list.
Step 4
The psychological method "Tangle" will help you remember, if not everything, then a lot. Its essence lies in the fact that you must present a part of your life, from the moment "now" to the moment when you have not yet forgotten the information, in the form of a ball of threads. As you unwind the ball, you will unwind your memories, as it were.
Step 5
For example, you have lost your favorite book and cannot find it even in the places where you usually put it after reading. Sit down, relax, and focus. Start unwinding the ball from the last time you saw your book. Gradually unwind your memories, and it may turn out that at some point when you were reading a book, you were called from the street, you ran out onto the balcony and left your book there.
Step 6
If the ball does not unwind, relax. Take a break for 10 minutes, and then try this technique again. In case you are having trouble remembering, take the idea away from you for a while, perhaps a few days. It happens that memory itself gives us back what we have lost. For example, at night, when the brain orders all the events that have happened to us in one or several days.
Step 7
Train your brain. Read more, communicate with smart people, look for non-standard ways to solve ordinary problems, in general, make your brain work at any possible moment.
Step 8
Give up bad habits: smoking, alcohol, and overeating. All this has a destructive effect on the brain and, as a result, very quickly destroys memory.
Step 9
Do some outdoor sports or just walk for a few hours a day. On weekends, go out with friends to the countryside, where the air is clean and filled with a lot of oxygen, which is so necessary for high-quality brain function and, of course, for the development of a good memory.
