Sticky notes and lists are very popular for those people that have difficulty remembering important things. Place them in spots you know for a fact you’ll look at frequently. An example is next to the cell phone or computer. You’ll find that these notes will keep you on track and help you remember tasks and appointments.
Don’t skip on the sleep if you want to improve your memory. It is when we sleep that our brains really go to work. During deep sleep our brains are incredibly active in processing information and trying to understand problems. Skimping on your sleep will start having an almost immediate effect on your memory.
To improve your memory, try a glass or two of wine. You may be surprised to know that wine in moderation can help improve your memory. Red wines are the highest in resveratrol, a chemical that increases your brain power and may even prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Just don’t drink too much or it may hurt your memory instead of helping it!
Keep lists of everything. Keep a shopping list at all times. Hang it on your refrigerator. Every time you think of something you need, add it to the list. This will help make sure you don’t forget anything. Keep lists for other things as well, such as things that need done around your house.

Hopefully this article has provided some helpful and thoughtful insight to help you not only cope with memory loss, but also assist you in re-gaining memory.
