How many of us are really good in remembering things?

My,my,I am so glad you are also one of my kind my friend.I guess,this happens with many.I usually make a list when am going out to buy groceries and I will end up buying on my own and forgetting about the whole list thing.I want to improve my memory and guess,what I am working on it very hard not to forget things

Hi brisk, Thanks for the BR I would have thank you earlier but I forgot! , same old, same old memory for me then! lol.

As I have always maintained, I don't worry about forgetting things until the day comes that I go into the bathroom and forget WHY I went in there. The thing about not being able to remember everything is that we are inundated with information through various forms of media. We now have satellite television, cell phones, internet, magazines, newspapers and tons of other forms of communications. With all the data going into our minds it's no wonder that we forget so much. We have to store phone numbers, account pass words, addresses, names, computer information, right down to where we parked our car when we go into the store. We don't have the luxury of quiet evenings without a lot of things going on. Our brains don't get much rest! Speaking of where a person parked their car, my Mom and I were in Florida in '85 taking care of my aunt's estate. We went to the local shopping mall to do some Christmas shopping and had parked and were headed to the store. I was stopped by an older lady in a green top hat, (she obviously was frantic) wanting to know if I knew where she parked her car. I didn't know her or her car from Adam, and had to say no. I almost told her that she could wait inside the mall until all the stores closed and everyone left. If she did that the last car in the parking lot would most likely be hers. Now, I have to get back to looking for that thing that I can't remember what it was or where I put it...(LOL)

Oh your very welcome! Infact,I need to thank you to let me know that I am not just the one and that even other people face the same problem too.I feel so relieve,relieve that I am not the only.I don't know,why this happens with me everytime,when I was in school,I was very good in remembering things,now not even 75% retains in my memory.Good day!

I got you,I got youHappens with me everytime.But,thanks to my fiance,he keeps me reminding most of the times.When he don't,I keep forgetting even my important meetings.

Indeed, I memorize bible verses before. It enriches my memory as well as my soul.

Ya I understand ever since I left my college and started doing my own job,I don't find any time at all to sharpen my old rusted mind.All I do is work,work and work and it becomes so boring and I don't even need to used my brains so much anymore since I am so much into this work for a long period.Memorising quote is a sure way to improve our power of recall.I studied in One Christian school,we have to memorised whole lot of Bible chapters and verses,I must say it helps

Oh,I am also very glad to meet one of my kindMy mom used to scold me since I keep forgetting things,it is worst when I start forgetting my appointments.I try hard to remember but I just can't.I would put a reminder on my cellphone and lo,again I will forget it.Good day!

I thought maybe it was just me or i have like some medical problem with forgetting literally EVERYThing.
