improve my memory

Two-pronged attack on my memory's improvement.  — 3 years ago

Crossword puzzles. Crosswords are supposed to be useful in exercising the memory, or so I hear. So, I’ve started doing online crossword puzzles which are actually pretty cool, since you can get immediate verification of answers and count the number of cheated letters you get in the end. I can then track how much cheating I need to do in order to complete the puzzle each day.

Drugs.Gingko is an easy-to-acquire drug that has been known to improve short-term and long-term memory. That should help counteract (hopefully) all of the chemicals that I currently take that reduce short-term and long-term memory.

What other tricks are there? Looking in particular for things that don’t require me to try to actually memorize anything cause that’s tough.

I only have one cheap aluminum pot, but it can’t really count much towards my declining memory since I barely ever use it. Does aluminum destroy memory or something?

tell yourself this

Tell yourself your memory is good, and that will improve it. If you tell yourself it’s bad, you start forgetting even more things.

Exercising your brain helps, like doing simple math in your head. More supple brain, more limber memory.

Different paths for different minds… mine likes me to say and write down things. That is like memory velcro. You would be amazed the encyclopedia of stuff that can reside in your head.
