5. Talk to yourself

When you repeat things over and over again, your brain activity will remember them and improve your ability to remember them later. Try talking to yourself out loud while doing some tasks. For example, you might repeat the names of new people when you talk to them, such as "Hello, Joe. What are you doing, Joe?"

6. Remember information with specific details

To improve your memory, you can connect the information you need to remember with a specific image or detail in your mind. This will help you to have a good memory, for example, a colleague wears glasses, you make a note of her name and glasses, or you take a new route, you will look at the map before you go and the picture figure out that path.

7. Play mind games

You can find lots of "brain training" programs online, but doctors aren't sure how much they really help you build memory and focus. You can try crossword puzzles and some games that require you to think to exercise your mind.

8. Delete unnecessary information

Information overload makes memory disorders even more serious. Therefore, you need to learn how to reduce unnecessary information. Point out things that might be disrupting your focus and learn ways to get rid of them. The best way is that you should not do many things at the same time. Do one thing until you're done. You should give yourself some quiet time. An hour or two of quiet each day helps your brain recharge.

9. Know your own information processing speed


When you are processing a lot of information, you should slow down, not try to do too much, too fast. Always ask questions and repeat information to help you remember. You should schedule complex tasks, this is when you need the most energy and focus.

10. Exercise

Sessions at the gym will also keep your brain in tip-top shape. Research shows that exercise can help your mind work better (possibly related to Cathepsin B levels).
