Something I have tried to do is "word association." I have a friend whose name is Alice, so I think of Alice in wonderland. She also has long blond hair. Just think of something about that person that sticks out to you. It could be something funny, and no one else needs to know. Numbers are more difficult. But relate the number to something that is important to you. Your birthday, an event or whatever. Well this works for me. 😊

You can use a strategy known as CHUNKING. It is something we use all the time to remember information such as phone numbers. Just consider how much more difficult it would be to remember a phone number if you saw it as (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators), instead of (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators). By breaking the information into chunks like that you can remember much more. Good luck! Regards, Jake

I with the seizures and stuff I've had in my life, my memory is not what it was when I was younger, I can remember a few things, but not alot . That goes for Numbers, places, names, birthday, etc, like I said my memory is not like it was, but works, I'm ok for what memory I do have as for what I went through in my life, I'd say, on 3 scale being the best for remembering, retaining info,etc. I give myself a 1, but I'm ok with, no prob.

Care a little note pad and writing utensils with you. Or if you have a Note app on your phone or device. You can use that.

I use my note app a lot .

I use of Microsoft Excel as the software has a free personal address template that can be used to keep the information of everyone that is communicated with in a safe area.
