How I did it: I read every book by Harry Lorrayne I could get my hands on, and when I finished I obsessively read them again. Then, I did the same with Dominic O'Brien. Together they cover every single memory challenge I've ever imagined. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Since remembering names are vital to my line of business (sales), I took this goal seriously. It took me a while to think about the name as it was being said, but after much practice, it become easy and fun. Mnemonics such as "Mike has a bike" didn't really work for me. It was far easier to repeat the name back to them or just echo it in my head after. After a while, repeating the name back becomes second nature. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Improving memory is not something one can do by just sitting or reading a book on memory. You'll have to actually train your memory for it. Plus, every individual is unique. People use different techniques to to improve there memories. My memory was going a bit down but it was normal. I started reading this book "How to use your perfect memory" by Tony Buzan. It had few methods that I incorporated in my life. But this is not all, these me… Read how I did it…

Not just a silly small issue, my memory has gotten increasingly worse. I know I need help. I know it’s serious because my bad memory has gotten me written up at work, and had my debit card canceled on me. At work I forgot our boss had passed out a paper on the new OTC procedure, I followed the old one and I was told I could be terminated (luckily I wasn’t). Then, I forgot to call the bank and tell them I was in Europe for a month, so I called them while I was there, they asked me random questions like “Did you spend $13.06 on May 13th?” They wouldn’t tell me where it was. Being honest, I said no, but now I hear from other people you just say ‘yes’. They completely canceled my debit card, therefor I had NO access to my money.
I’ve gone out to the kitchen and forgot where I kept my cups. I’ve forgotten my nephew’s name, and on and on.
All of this, and I’m only 22 years old.
I checked out this one site and tried memorizing 10 objects on a tray within 30 seconds. I did okay, I got all of them but I really slowed down after going through 5.

Let’s start with something a bit motivational – I might need it to carry me through the rest of my goals. I choose ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling which I think is ace – if you’re a man anyway.
It’s true that if you don’t use it, you lose it. I think that due to multiple factors (depression, not having studied much in the last two years since finishing uni,...), I haven’t been taxing my brain as much as I should be and feel that my memory has become pretty bad.
I think I’m going to get the Brain Training game for the Nintendo DS to help fix this, and generally improve my concentration and mental ability. Hopefully, I will regain some clarity and get my head back to full speed :)

I can’t find the charger anywhere! And without the charger I can’t play Brain Age which really sucks because it screws up the whole “Play Brain Age for every day of this month thing” since I started yesterday (June 1st)... I suspect my younger sister has mis-placed it somewhere (since I tore up my room looking for it) – And no way am I going to ask her more then once where it is, 14 year old sisters are among the scariest monsters on this planet!

I started “working” on this yesterday. I think it’s important to have a sharp memory (as well as a sharp mind in general). For now I’ll take this goal easy and just attempt to play brain age once a day. Yesterday was day 1 since I played yesterday. I have to charge my DS now so I can play brain age later, so I’ll do that now. :)

This speaks for itself.. sometimes when i am reading a book and someone asks me what it is about, I can’t seem to remember a thing..
have got an attention span of a goldfish..needs improving desperatly
Frenetik has realised that jotting down goals really motivates!
My memory has been good ever since I used to play and win those Mix N Match games when I was a kid. I had a knack for it, and never really needed to work on my memory.
Recently, I have noticed it failing me. Be it old age, or be it laziness I’m not sure. But I’m sure I can work on improving it. After calling a good friends girlfriend the wrong name last week it has spurred me on to do something about it!
I have obtained a few Dominic O’Brien books and will be reading them over coming weeks, and applying some of the techniques. I am hoping it will have a good effect.
I wanna improve my memory, so that I can remember things well.
Don’t want to forget things I’ve studied so hard.
And I want to remember all of the wonderful things in my life.
