how can i improve my memory?

[Carmen]

i have the worst memory. I'm told things and IMMEDIATELY forget them. I forget names, entire movies, appointments.
I have to write everything down (yes, like in that movie who's name i can't remember. lol.. OH.. MEMENTO), IF i can remember to, and even then, i forget to look.
I walk into rooms and forget what i was doing a lot and often say the same thing more than once to someone because i forgot I told them already.

what can i do to improve my memory?

 

[-SD-]

Youre going to have to type more slowly, what was the question again?

 

[alien amp pharm]

Lay off the weed.

 

[*MissFit*]

i write stuff on my hand,... works for me

Hate to be OT sugarplumb, but I really need that $20 I loaned you the other day.

thanks hon.

Ok.
I'll mail it later.
LOL

 

[ChefWide]

Thats why you always call me 'Hon', or 'babe' or 'buddy' or 'pal'...

You cant remember my damn name!

Ok, what you need is called Hydergine. Side effects are not as bad as forgetting to 'stop on red' so go for it.

 

[jerseyart]

LOL

Im the same way.

I once forgot the name of a kid I spent 4 years with in high school less than 2 months after I graduated. And I know it had to be something starting between p and t, because we literally sat next to each other the entire 4 years.

 

[Zebo]

They say memory is the first thing to go.

I can't remember what the second thing is......

 

[Kroliczek]

Lay off the weed.

This is not a good idea.

 

[Carmen]

ok, i stopped writing on my hand once i turned around 17.
i'll write on your hand though.

 

[Kroliczek]

lol. I have a great memory. My secret? memory training.

 

[Carmen]

This is not a good idea.

lol.. i would think that smoking as much weed as i did from age 13-21 caused my memory loss, but my father was a MAJOR pot smoker from age 14 till he died and he never forgot a damn thing.

oh, and chef... i thought "hon" WAS your first name.

 

[Carmen]

lol. I have a great memory. My secret? memory training.

whats that?

 

[Evil_Frisky]

Whew.. I was hoping you wouldn't remember that PM... I was drunk and High I swear, under normal cirucumstances I would have never tried any of that.

 

[Kroliczek]

whats that?

lol. well basically I will take a formula, say any formula: and just memorize it like crazy. But it doesn't have to be a formula though, perhaps a lines from a movie script or part of a book.

Then I write down everything that i just memorized. lol...i have a lot of time on my hands: but wtf a great ass memory.

hm... ok.
i'll memorize song lyrics.

OH... me and bobby mcGee. I know all the words now.

 

[broley]

singing to myself, "busted flat in baton Rouge"
Great song. I read a movie might be made...and goddamn it I forgot who was going to play her part...shit.

The Cornel System works well too: three stage.

1 Write down one key word per major topic
2 review immediately and write on paragraph on each key relating to topic.
3. before bed THAT NIGHT, read OUT LOUD the entire shabang.


Audible Kinesthetics i think some nerd coined for the practice. Retains information long term 85% better than just listening the first time. This is all from the mid '80s mind you, so better may be out there. its at least a start.

They say it helps if your slapped while thinking of the thing your trying to remember.

Guess what Im trying to say is, if you need someone to smack you in the ass, Im your guy

 

[ChefWide]

Both are very true.

 

[Evil_Frisky]

I have self induced amnesia and I've destroyed all the evidence..... your only hope was Sugarplum, and shes has short term memory loss

I'll never tell

 

[wnt2bBeast]

Both are very true.

[wnt2bBeast]

You're stuck, just like me. There is nothing out there that will make you improve your memory. No prescription drug, nothing. IF there was anything, I've tried it.

 

[Evil_Frisky]

Sugarplumevilone and the Friskinator........ oh the strength that comes in pairs...

 

[wnt2bBeast]

ill let you take care of the details

Thanks, If you just wanna make a money order for the $50, go ahead, I don`t really care how I get it, it`s all money in the end.

[Dial_tone]

LOL, classic Gonelifting.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

I remember everything.... It's a bloody curse.
The best way for you to remember is to get mad, you remember everything when you're mad

 

[Robert Jan]

A combination of pills, and training

Theres also a certain technique to it... working with the right associations and whatnot.

Why not get one of those fancy PDA things?

 

[Carmen]

Why not get one of those fancy PDA things?

yeah, i thought about it- i think palm has one out now for around $200, but thats not always going to help me.
for example. my boss/dad calls me into his office and asks me to put something on our website.
Ok.
i walk back to my office and shop for shoes.

I used to have the same problem, but now I got one of those fancy PDAs for work / home and write everyting down.

Now, if my boss calls me into his office, I take down the notes, go back to my desk, and continue watching my movie on my PDA.
