Answer 1

I just picked up a great book on the subject which helped me. Here are some tips. Attach a mental image to the thing you're trying to remember. Remember in groups (chunking). Use all of your senses when committing something to memory. If it's an object, say a lemon, smell it, see it, feel it, taste it, etc. Numbers are different. I haven't got to that part yet. I do know, however, that apparently we forget the middles of thing, so if you're trying to remember a list, focus more time in the middle. The book is called, Maximize Your Memory, Jonathan Hancock.
