        In these days with the huge amount of information that we receive comparing to the previous generations, it's been difficult to remember everything easily. Lisa Davis explains that some people have difficulty to pay close attention, difficulty to remember names, difficulty to remember wallet place, and difficulty or remember the numbers. Mrs. Lisa explain seven simple methods to eliminate or reduce of the memory forgetting.

The mostly common problem that happen to people is hardness to remember names which can put the person in embracing situations sometimes especially with the people who have an important job such as business men. Psychiatrist Gary Small, M.D., director of the University of California, Los Angeles Longevity Center, suggests that when we meet people usually we don’t pay attention, but the person should make a mental picture of the other person face and his name and connect them. For example, make a pictures of the person while he sitting on the beach and you are calling him. Also, before you leaving the person try to say his name after you said good-bye. Second technique, is especially for people who forgetting always what they want to do. Mrs. Lisa says that try always to use a list as story to write what you want to do or what you want to buy. For example, write a story including the stuff that you want to buy from the grocery. Third problem that mostly everybody facing that is forgetting the password of accounts or of the computer accounts. Try to choose the password that belong to you; for instance, use the name of your dog, your first car, your street name, or the first litters of company name with adding some numbers of your phone, and that will be hard to the hackers to guess too. Moreover, sometime we have hard time to remember where we put the keys or wallet. Best method for that is to put basket in your room or kitchen to put your stuff in it. There is phenomenon that some people forget names of movies, songs, etc. For example if the movie called Dead Ringers try to imagine that you playing with a rings in your finger. Other technique is to know easily where you parked. It is a problem that many people are complaining about, so the good way to remember that is to use look-snap-connect technique. First looks to see what is behind and front your car. Then create a mental snapshot. Last, remember the number with using multiple senses such as, speaking. Last thing, is to remember an important date, use your phone’s calendar to set up an alert for important dates and it will give you notifications when the date comes.
