Fuckin STML! god, I always think of cool threads to start, but as soon as I get here I forget them. EVERY FUCKING TIME! shit is bad with me. Ive started to carry a little pad of paper with me so I can remember day to day shit for more than a few very short seconds.


anyone else gots the stml? carry a notebook with you? recorder?

or even better anyone got a cure that doesnt involve slowing down on the mind altering substances?

I carry a book about at work so I remember how to shut up the fire alarm/intruder alarm..otherwise I'd just forget all the codes and what to do, plus I jot stuff down on the back of my hand, things like remembering to get milk from the shops after work......stuff like that just goes straight out my head...

Best thing to improve memory is practise really, or trying various mental techiniques such a mnemonics (-eg, to remember a musical scale learn the rhyme EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR...you take the first letter from each word to get EGBDF.....wow, I explained that clearly heh )

Or another technique known as semantics......this is where you say, wanted to learn a word in a new language....I dunno, try ball.....what you do is think about the meaning of the word and that a ball is a thing you can kick etc...then try glue the meaning of the word to the new word itself (personally, I find this method sounds complicated and that's not the way I remember stuff, my mind is more visual than literal I think.)

Or stupid images/stories, anything to help 'fix' what it is you're trying to remember...attach the thing you want to remember to another thought....for example, say your favourite cartoon camera is Fred Flintstone, and you want to remember that you need to buy some I dunno, air freshner (I know, I know).......try to think of Fred Flintstone walking about with everyone pinching their noses and going 'ew' at him...somthing a bit weird, slightly amusing, then play the image of stinky Mr Fred Flintstone in your mind a few times over till you've got it down.....then see it you remember......this might not work, I mean, what works for one person's mind isn't neccesarily going to work for another person, plus it depends whether your mind is more linguistic/visual/aurally-based as to which method will give the most benefit......

The most important thing is not to worry about it, I think we go through phases where memory just gets crappier (like sometimes for no reason your body just doesn't feel as healthy as normal)....and if you get all upset about it that in itself could have a knock-on......slightly dodgy memory, get pissed-off/upset about it/this exacerbates things slightly drawing more of your attention to it/you will pick up more on small lapses in memory you would otherwise not be bothered by/and so on...not saying your in that situation, but it can become a bit of a loop.....

Me, my memory can be ultra-shit at times, I think it's more that I don't listen when people are telling me stuff!
