Information surrounds people everywhere. These are necessary knowledge, important actions, phone numbers, names. It seems that it is impossible to control everything. This function is performed by memory.
Memory is a renewable resource. If you think your memory is bad, then you just didn't train it. A person can remember absolutely everything if he masters some techniques.
Images
Mnemonics teaches figurative thinking. This skill always works. Try it out in practice. For example, your new employee's name is Mikhail Petrovich.
Think of the most famous personalities with these names. For example, Mikhail Gorbachev. He was remembered for his characteristic speech, birthmark. The second famous person is Peter the Great. He wore a mustache, laid the foundation for the navy, and became the founder of St. Petersburg.
Try to imagine a mustachioed man in a triangle sitting on a horse. If at the sight of your employee you have this image, you can easily remember his name.
Do the same with numbers. Let's say your passport series is 7308, but you can't remember it. Divide the number into 2 parts. For example, 73 would be your region number, and 08 would be a plot. Let the eight be the sign of infinity, and the zero turn into a stadium. Now imagine a car driving through this stadium without stopping.
Let's say you have the number 5938750285753295. You cannot remember it completely. Try to split it like this: 5938-7502-8575-3295. Agree, now it is easier to read the number, and it is easier to perceive it visually. For this reason, card and telephone numbers are written with dashes.
This technique can be used not only for numbers. For example, you need to buy items from a list. Sort and number them. Write down products in the first category, hygiene products in the second, etc. Can be categorized by department. For example, indicate that you need to buy 4 products in the dairy department and 3 in the product - in the meat department.
Rhymes
Come up with unusual rhymes for words. Remember how at school they memorized rhymes about the rat Bisectoris or the pants of Pythagoras. But thanks to them, you still remember some theorems.
Rhyme makes it possible to memorize information in a playful way. You don't have to intend to teach. Just play, enjoy the process, and the information will be remembered by itself.
Cheat sheets

It is not less efficient to write down the name, number and notes in a notebook. Can you tell a short story about this person.
Routine

Open the cabinet door to remember the medication. Do any unusual things, then your attention will be active, and you will begin to quickly memorize information.
