These are memory tools that help you recall things such as names, dates, and facts through turning that information into a memorable rhyme, word, or sentence. For instance, you can remember the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior) by remembering the word HOMES. The first letter of the name of each lake is used to create that new word. Another example of a common mnemonic is the name "Roy G. Biv," which correlates with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Be creative. Use the first letter of a group of words you're trying to remember and make a silly sentence or phrase with words that start with the same letters. Rhymes are a type of mnemonic device that use audio (sound) information to help remember things. In other words, the rhymes are easily linked together for us by their sound. Think about this classic rhyme: "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Try to organize the information or list of words you're trying to remember into a rhyme. Mind maps are diagrams or pictures you can create to help you visually organize information. They help show relationships between pieces of information so you can better understand the connections between different concepts or groups of data. By better understanding how different ideas connect together, you can better remember them and recall them at test time. Place the main idea in the center of your mind map, and use connected branches to add related information. You can create a mind map on paper, or there are computer tools to help you create them digitally. Some researchers believe that the act of chewing gum actually allows more oxygen into your brain, which helps you concentrate better. Furthermore, if you chew a particular flavor of gum while studying, such as peppermint, you may be able to better remember information you studied if you also chew that gum during your test. Smells are often associated with memories, so you can use this to help you remember what you're studying. Try this experiment: smell a perfume or scent while studying. Then, smell the same scent right before your exam. You may be able to better recall the information you studied.

summary: Master mnemonic devices. Create rhymes for what you are trying to remember. Develop a mind map. Chew gum while studying. Use your sense of smell.

If you have children or nieces/nephews, get them to play with you. Getting your adult friends involved can also be fun. There's a whole psychology behind hide and seek that says it's a life-affirming game of exploration and being loved. You could even rent a bouncy house for a day and invite all of your friends. The physical activity will help you burn off stress, and the experience will remind you of how much you enjoyed bouncing as a child. These activities will help you tap into your childhood creativity, where objects you draw aren't just things on a page, but open up entire emotional worlds. Research suggests that drawing helps children express their emotions, which they aren't aware of yet in the same way than adults can be. Drawing and other visual arts can help your inner child express herself. Dancing can help you burn off stress like other physical activity, and it's also a creative avenue of expression that spans different age groups. Everyone loves to dance, from childhood all the way to old age. Use dance to connect with your inner child in a way that also honors your adulthood desires and interests. Make sure to include songs from your childhood in the playlist! This involves letting your conscious mind rest while other parts of yourself take over. It can be a powerful source of creativity and fun, especially if you set the intention of letting your inner child express herself as she sees fit. Use crayons, colored pencils, or colored paper to make things more fun.

summary: Play hide and seek. Buy a trampoline or use someone else's. Fingerpaint, draw, or buy a coloring book. Throw a dance party. Try free-writing or free-drawing.

Ask around. Sometimes pet shops have services where you pay them to come over and feed your fish. Unknown people have full access to your house. This makes it important that the person you choose is properly vetted or is known to you. If you do not feel comfortable with strangers in your house, ask a family member or a friend. Alternatively, a pet sitting service whose clients have been police verified can be an alternative, although more costly. Tell them everything they need to know, especially about how much to feed, and also leave a written instruction sheet for their reference. If you can't find anyone at all to take care of your fish, it would be best not to leave. If you do, you are taking extreme risks, and it is likely your fish won't survive.
summary: Get somebody to take care of your fish. Talk to your fish-sitter about your fish before you leave.
