How to Memorize Lists Using the Memory Trick

If you have trouble remembering what's on your plate because it's so full, simple memory tricks can help. Improving your memory reduces the stress that comes with forgetting names, passwords and important meetings. With some practice, you'll see amazing results.

Instructions

1. Create a story of what you'll do and how well you'll do it as you plan your day. Studies have shown this is a highly effective memory trick.

2. Engage as many of your senses as possible when learning something new. The more senses you use, the more engaged your brain is and the easier you'll find it to recall the list of items.

3. Attach a list of new information to information you already know well. This way, you'll find it easier to recall the new information.

4. Create a rhyme to help you remember lists. This well-known trick is used in elementary schools all across the world precisely because it's so effective. Improve your memory and have fun doing it.

5. Invent a physical activity for each item on your list, such as snapping your fingers, or tapping your leg. Linking items on your list to a small physical movement makes them easier to retrace.
