As we grow older, it’s common for us to begin forgetting things. Even before hitting retirement, it may have been hard to remember because our lives were so busy. Even though you can’t do anything to prevent the aging process, you can do something to help you remember things. The following are some great ways to remember things.
Write It Down
It sounds so simple, but it does take a little practice to get into the habit of doing it. As soon as you want to remember something, write it down in a place that you will see it. A good idea is to have a calendar near something you use on a daily basis such as a phone, stove, or refrigerator. That way you’re guaranteed to see it.
Put It Into Your Phone
Nowadays, people have their phone with them wherever they go, which means that it can be a handy reminder tool. Learn how to set up alerts on your phone. Your phone will then go off when you have to do something. You can use your phone for medical appointments, medications, going on an outing, or anything else.
Tell Someone Else
You may not depend on your memory, so maybe you can depend on someone else’s. When two or more people have to remember something, the chances of forgetting it is slim to none.
Ask for a Reminder
If you have an appointment with someone, ask that person to call you the day of the appointment. That way you have a personal reminder service.
Tie a String Around Your Finger
You may laugh about this because it’s something people have been saying for ages, but it really does work. When you tie a string around your finger, you’ll see it throughout the day and then you’ll be able to continue to remind yourself of whatever that string is meant for.
Train Your Brain
Start doing puzzles every day. Luminosity is a great website and app that has games on it to help you improve your brain. Have fun with your brain each day, and you may just realize how easy it is to remember things again.
