forgetful memory

What I do is I have memo boards or pads in every room, so that when I think of something I need to do, or somebody's birthday, keep an appointment etc.. I will quickly write it down and in my mobile phone, I will also key my to do list in my calender because it has an alert alarm and that is very useful to me. Lastly, I have a diary which I will write in changes of my students lessons and appointments to keep on certain dates. Is this helpful to you? Maybe you can use whatever you find useful. Good luck.

Understand your own style of learning. People can be visual learners, remembering best what they see. They benefit the most from memory notebooks and signs. Others are auditory learners, remembering best what they hear. They benefit from talking out loud or using a tape recorder. A few people are kinesthetic learners, remembering best what they experience. They will benefit most from writing things down or acting them out. Knowing your strength will help your memory run at peak efficiency.
