If you sometimes have problems remembering things, try following these tips from the American Academy of Family Physicians:

-- Keep lists of things you need to remember, a detailed calendar, and follow a regular daily routine. -- Make connections in your mind to help you remember -- like associating places with certain landmarks. -- Keep objects you use regularly -- like your keys -- in the same place each time. -- When trying to remember the name of a person you just met, repeat his or her name to yourself. -- Keep your mind and body busy and active.
