If you are looking for new methods to improve your memory, I recommend you try methods that are supported by evidence based practice or science based research. Learning these methods will give you the ability to improve your memory and hopefully help you in your daily life.

The first thing you need to do to improve your memory is: Repetition

Evidence based research is beginning to show that the most effective method of improving your memory is doing it 30 times in a row in order to recall it.

The second thing you need to do to improve your memory is: Reinforcement

Evidence based research is beginning to show that the most effective method of improving your memory is to reinforce or strengthen your ability to remember something after you put in the 30 repetitions. You can do this by testing yourself in the desired concept or method that you are trying to memorize in order to reap the benefits of that specific recollection.

The third thing you need to do to improve your memory is: Sleep

Staying organized and maintaining the ability to get to bed at an appropriate time will give you the ability to recall the things that you want to remember. Research is beginning to show the positive impact that adequate rest is doing to support a healthy mind and the ability to repeat the tasks you perform on a daily basis in order to remember it!
