Science is proving that our ‘always on’ culture with so many distractions is affecting the way our brains are wired. I used to pride myself on being able to multitask but this is evolving into ADD (I am not kidding!). Sooo to help my memory, concentration and focus, my mantra needs to be one thing at a time! No TV/reading/laptop/phone/facebook at the same time – each activity whether work or pleasure needs to be given undivided attention (even if only for 30 mins!) 1 week ago
..has a great book with a number of tips to improve memory. I’ll see how I get on…. 4 weeks ago
I have been getting really familiar with the Major memory system, and that has been awesome.
I can memorise pi up to 100 places, and have memorised a lot of my key phone numbers, account numbers and credit card details etc.
It’s been fun and really helpful. 1 month ago
I am going to work on this intensively for 1 month and then just keep exercising my memory, on a lower basis and scale.
I will use the web to read (how-to) articles and stuff to help me improve my memory and also (e)books on this subject.

I came across this nifty, century-old, little trick for remember lists of items or other such lists by visualizing them each in a room of my house and adding an extraordinary but visual story to each.

Now that I’m out of school, I feel a lot less reticent to continued learning; I’ve picked up a number of little activities I’d shied away from due to mental exhaustion, but now that I’m rested and taking things at my own pace, I’m finding that my brain is a lot more receptive to information that I gave it credit for. I’m glad that ability was not lost forever. Sometimes, all you need is a break. Nevertheless, I still plan on improving it measurably and hope to report back on this one soon 6 months ago
