8 Tips & Tricks To Help You Remember Everyday Things!

Reminder, Note, Sticky Note


“Where did I leave my keys?”“What am I forgetting to buy?”“What time is that meeting?”“He just introduced himself a minute ago…and I already forgot his name.”

We all have those moments when our memory fails us on the seemingly simplest daily tasks and items to remember.  Although the occasional memory loss is probably inevitable, there are ways we can reduce the number of “blank out” moments in our lives.  Try using these 8 easy tricks to improve your memory for those small things in life!

1. Pay attention – Give the item you know you will need to remember your full, undivided attention when you first input it into your brain.  For example, listen to the introduction being given to you instead of worrying about what you need to say after, or take some time to think about everything you need to buy before you leave your home. 


Person, Man, Binary, Null, One


2. Repeat it– With everything you need to remember, use a minute or two to repeat it over and over in your mind. This works for locations, people, inanimate objects, exam notes…anything you want to stick and stay in your brain.


Checklist, Task, To Do, List, Plan, Work

3. Use your senses – When you forget something, use all of your senses to try to remember it.  For example, if you forget where your first date with your significant other was, try to think about the things you touched, tasted, felt, smelled, saw, etc.  It is very likely one of these sensory cues will help you remember.

4. Associate it– Use random associations that make sense to you when you need to remember something.  
  • Rhymes: The new guy at work called Stan goes to the beach a lot = Tan Stan.
  • Mnemonics: I need to buy Beef, Ricotta cheese, Apples, Nuts, Donuts from the grocery store today = B.R.A.N.D
  • Personal links: I always leave my keys on the table below the family portrait = name your keys “Family Keys”
5. Create a routine – If you need to remember something on a continuous basis, like locking the door or feeding a pet, make it a routine.  Create a schedule and do the task at the exact same time in the exact same way every time you need to do it. 
6. Take a break – Sometimes you need to rest your brain a little before you put it to work again.  Even if something is at the tip of your tongue, overusing your brain will likely make you begin to doubt or confuse yourself.

7.  Write it down – When you have too many things to remember at once, just write it down!  The easiest way to “remember” is to make a concrete note.  Use sticky notes, mobile device reminders, voice recordings, etc. 

Diary, School, Office, Education

Undecidability

Amu_Ke_Fundye Undecidability Decidable Problem If there is a Turing machine that decides the problem, called as Decidable problem. A decision problem that can be solved by an algorithm that halts on all inputs in a finite number of steps. A problem is decidable, if there is an algorithm that can answer either yes or no. A language for which membership can be decided by an algorithm that halts on all inputs in a finite number of steps. Decidable problem is also called as totally decidable problem, algorithmically solvable, recursively solvable. Undecidable Problem A problem that cannot be solved for all cases by any algorithm whatsoever. Equivalent Language cannot be recognized by a Turing machine that halts for all inputs. The following problems are undecidable problems: Halting Problem:  A halting problem is undecidable problem. There is no general method or algorithm which can solve the halting problem for all possible inputs. Emptyness Problem:...

Instruction Pipelining

Amu_Ke_Fundye Instruction Pipelining Parallel processing provides simultaneous data processing tasks for the purpose of increasing the computational speed of a computer system rather than each instruction is processed sequentially, a parallel processing system is able to perform concurrent data processing to achieve faster execution time and increase throughput. There are more advantages with parallel processing but it has some issues also. Due to parallel processing, the amount of hardware increases and the cost of system increases. Parallel processing is established by distributing the data among the multiple functional units. Flynn’s Classification Flynn introduced the parallel processing classification. This classification considers the organisation of a computer system by the number of instructions and data items that are manipulated simultaneously. The sequence of instructions read from the memory constitutes an instruction stream. The operations perfo...

ALU and Data Path

Amu_Ke_Fundye ALU and Data Path The CPU can be divided into a data section and a control section. The   data section , which is also called the   datapath. Datapath The registers, the ALU, and the interconnecting bus are collectively referred to as the datapath.  Each bit in datapath is functionally identical.  The datapath is capable of performing certain operations on data items. The  control section  is basically the  control unit ,  which issues control signals to the datapath . Bus : A Bus is a collection of wires or distinct lines meant to carry data, address and control information. Data Bus : it is used for transmission of data. The number of data lines corresponds to the number of bits in a word. Address Bus : it carries the address of the main memory location from where the data can be accessed. Control Bus : it is used to indicate the direction of data transfer and to coordinate the timing of ...
