I have very bad memory, i can forget everything very easly, dont matter what is it, How can i improve from it?

Question:

I always, forget every thing very easly, even rite after puting my card in my purse, or keys to my car , and cant find them in my purse. And if i am reading a book, i ll forget after reading a few pages, other then the extremist thing that happend in the whole book. I lose stuff, everywhere, and then cant remember. Most of time my phone is in my pocket and i am looking in whloe entir house, rite after puting it in the pocket. Is there any way to improve it?

Answers:
I deal with the same issue difference being I know why in my case (chemo-therapy) I practice association to help me remember which works perfectly as long as I feel the particular thing is important enough to take that moment to link it with an associated item. For instance instead of trying to remember the phone number I memorize the dialing pattern. It also helps to set rules for yourself and stick to them such as having a particular spot in your purse for the car keys verses tossing them hap-hazardly in there. I have a small drawer I empty my pockets into at days end, so if I know I had it yesterday then I will most likely find it in my little drawer today. It takes I little practice and like anything practice makes perfect...even in the case of our memory. Good Luck and I do hope this helps you as I know all to well how frustrating this can be. RAM

Write this down before you forget... just kidding.

The mind is a muscle and needs exercise just like the others. Do crosswords or other types of puzzles. Repeat things in your head (outloud if you can) like, "my phone is in my pocket". Do it in a strange voice. This may sound silly but your need to job your mind into remembering.

Good luck.

welcome to my world...

you should sleep more. Once in sleep mode, the brain processes all the events of the day and keeps things organized. but i dont know about short term memory loss though. good luck finding your phone next time.

i also suggest puzzle games. i take it to the next level to help my memory skills and hand eye coordination. i play very involved games like oblivion. has many many details. despite all arguments games help you with many skills. even the military uses video games to help desensitize troops before they get into a combat situation.

If you think it's age related, then you should take ginko biloba... VitaminWorld has a great supplement called focus complex.

If your older and this just started... you might have alzeihmers.

If this happened your entire life, you might not be using your brain correctly. Try hypnosis and games that use your brain.
