I know that there are some ways to improve your memory, but I just never took the time to really think about them. I&#8217;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&#8217;s supposed to be one of those old wives&#8217; tales, but the string is supposed to &#8220;keep the thought&#8221; about whatever you were trying to remember there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: courier new,courier,monospace;\">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 &#8211; drink water. My sleep schedule isn&#8217;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&#8217;ve never tried to meditate because let&#8217;s get real: the mind is scary. My mind is not &#8220;scary&#8221; though. It&#8217;s boring and there&#8217;s barely anything I can grasp that comes through my thought process.\u00a0Anyway, I&#8217;m going to include a couple of links for those that want to learn more ways to improve your memory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-memory#section8\"><span style=\"font-family: courier new,courier,monospace;\">14 Natural Ways to Improve Your Memory<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: courier new,courier,monospace;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/happiness-in-world\/200911\/eight-ways-remember-anything\">Eight Ways to Remember Anything<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I forget just how forgetful I can be.
