Forgetful

I forget just how forgetful I can be. I forget deadlines, names, necessities for life. Just a few minutes ago, I realized I had forgotten my badge back in my dorm room, so I was almost locked out of JI. I know that there are some ways to improve your memory, but I just never took the time to really think about them. I’ve heard of that tying a string around your finger, and I wonder if that really works. I saw that concept show up in a book I read last year. It’s supposed to be one of those old wives’ tales, but the string is supposed to “keep the thought” about whatever you were trying to remember there. 

There are other ways to improve your memory too. Drinking water, trying to meditate, and getting enough sleep are a couple of ways to try to improve your memory. I do only one of those – drink water. My sleep schedule isn’t the greatest. I usually go to sleep anywhere between 11 and 1, sometimes 2 on those odd nights, and I wake up at 6:25 to get ready for the day. I’ve never tried to meditate because let’s get real: the mind is scary. My mind is not “scary” though. It’s boring and there’s barely anything I can grasp that comes through my thought process. Anyway, I’m going to include a couple of links for those that want to learn more ways to improve your memory. 

14 Natural Ways to Improve Your Memory

Eight Ways to Remember Anything

Author: Morgan Crosby

The girl from D'Iberville is a really dull girl. She locks herself up in her room, content to spend her time reading and occasionally writing. She loves to read little YA romances and sometimes finds herself with books about history. The main thing motivating her writing is her overactive imagination and the strange dreams that plague her sleep. Her works also stem from what she has heard from music, conversations, or when half asleep. Crazed killers, haunted mirrors, and murderous siblings seem to be part of her stories in some way, but they always start off in her dreams. She started writing when she was in middle school, but had been telling stories since she was little.

  1. I use the Aoi Asahina method! just write (with your finger) the thing you want to remember three times on your hand.

  2. Thanks for this because I gave up on trying to remember everything. I literally put everything in my phone, so when it’s time for stuff to happen, my phone goes off.
