How To Remember Important Things

Are you one of those people who always forgets things? Do you have something vital that you really need to remember, and don't want to forget? Well, read this article and that will, hopefully, never happen again!

1. Make a song. Write a song to help you remember important information! This works great with locker combinations, passwords, PINs, etc. If you learn a song, you'll tend to sing it, and thereby be reminded whilst singing!
2. Have reminders. Have friends or relatives remind you every once in a while! Make sure that they're good at remembering things, too.
3. Do things that reflect on what you're trying to remember while you still remember.
4. If it's vital you shouldn't really forget, (it's probably impossible to forget exciting things) but if you do, have many backup plans. If it's minor, then have one or two reminders.
5. Get a sticky note and stick it on the bathroom wall at your eye level when you're going to the bathroom. During this short period of time you get bored and since you have nothing better to do you will look around and read the note. This is particularly effective since people go to the bathroom several times a day.
6. If you happen to remember something, like if you have to put a book in your backpack, then do it at that moment, because you will forget later.

Tips

• Try making a little notice board (perhaps better in your own room).
• Depending on how you remind yourself depends also on how you treat it (e.g: If you only have one reminder for a party you may not get involved or stand out as much as if you remind yourself in many ways.)
• If it's something like a release date then ask a friend or relative who just happens to be a fan of that certain thing.
• Sometimes things like e-mail programs will have a calendar that you can mark important dates in, like birthdays. They will send you an e-mail notice within 10 days so you can get a present.
• A diary can assist with remembering things.
• Don't let too much cross your mind.

Warnings

• Don't have too much on your mind you will end up remembering something small and miss out on something big.
• Don't forget something special it could cause trouble or lead to broken hearts.
• People that you associate yourself with may be disappointed if you forget their birthday and you will whether you like it or not send the message that you don't care THAT much about them, ESPECIALLY close friends.
