Why to improve memory

Before we discuss how to improve memory, we should discuss why we should improve memory.  Improving our memory helps us in many ways, we will able to remember birthdays of people important to us and public figures, anniversaries (specially your wedding anniversary), important appointments, scheduled meeting especially when your boss will be present.  Recall names, facts, figures, faces and dates. And if you are a public speaker (a teacher, professor, trainer, administrator or a politician) then you should be able to speak without seeing notes.  Improving memory helps school students, college students, working people, business people, house-wife and elderly alike.  Everyone should try to improve his memory in one way or another.

Then here are few techniques, and not only techniques but also exercises which will go a long way in improving things for you.  At end of series of these brief articles/video you will be able to feel more confident.  So, let’s start our journey.

One of the important methods of improving the memory is remembering everything as a photograph.  Different people have different types of memories. Some people are able to remember things they listen, some people are able to remember things they read, some people are able to remember things they write and some people are able to remember to things they speak.  But top most way to remember a thing is to see it. Most children are taught things in kindergarten in this way only. If you want to remember any fruit, say blackberry- then visualize the picture of blackberry and then try to remember it.  If you want to remember blue whale then see the picture of blue whale and then try to remember it.
