Question

short and long term?

Answer 1

Paper and a pen and a calender you actually look at each day.

Answer 2

If you want to improve your ability to memorize information, then learn to use the memory systems. These include the peg, link, loci, and other methods. A easy-to-read book that explains these and gives lots of examples is "The Memory Book" by Harry Lorayne. If you are a student, his other book, "Super Memory, Super Student" is even better, since it explains how the memory systems can be used to memorize course work like chemistry, math, and so on.

To improve your memory generally, you will probably need to make some lifestyle changes. There has been a lot of research lately about memory. This research shows that exercising daily, improving the quality of your sleep, eating brain foods and taking brain vitamins, and meditating regularly can all measurably improve memory. You can also play brain games like sudoku, crossword puzzles, and chess to help keep your mind sharp.

You can do all this for almost no money. The two books I mentioned are only about $10 each. Vitamins and brain foods are cheap, and the other lifestyle changes are free. And you can easily find free brain games on the Internet.

Answer 3

If you need to memorize reading or study material they say you should read it right before you go to sleep since memory consolidation occurs during sleepytime. However, other people (professionals, I guess) say you shouldn't do this because your mind will be too busy and it shouldn't be like that right before going to sleep. Personally, I read right before going to sleep a lot of nights and as long as I've been awake for a decent deal of time, I don't have too much trouble falling asleep. On the other hand, I'll pick up the book the next day and when I begin reading my subconscious will think, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that part," at least once.

Look into Buddha.
