You can learn new information more easily if you associate it with something you already know or remember.
Most memory problems are due to lack of attention.
Making a conscious decision to recall something is the first important step. Visualization Form a picture in your mind's eye of the things you want to remember. Bizarre or unusual images are easier to remember. For example, visualize large, man-eating plants growing out of your washing machine so you will think of watering your plants when you do the laundry. Use action, humor, exaggeration and large numbers of items to help create bizarre images.
