Link Up to Boost Memory

There is a big difference between people following daily memorization routines compared to those who put their brain instagnant situations.
Minds require great attention and exercise
since these machines are the masters of how a person is able to
accomplish daily tasks. Putting your mind up for a challenge exposes it to active thinking. Memorization is one mental task that you need to do daily.
Help keep your mind working in good condition by regularly learning new information everyday.
Read books and memorize new names or dates in history.
You can even exercise your mind by simply using mnemonics during a few minutes of your day. Try the link method.
It is a mnemonic which lets you use your creative side yet allows you to retain new information by associating unfamiliar objects to familiar ones.

-scissors

-boat

-porch

-dog

The items above aren't related to one another but you can associate them together as one by using the link method. All you have to do is to imagine that you are chasing down the scissor all
the way to your stairs.
You went down the living room and found a boat tied to one of your stair steps.
You then hopped in the boat and allowed it to take you outside as you continue to chase the scissors but you lost sight of it.
You looked up the porch and saw your dog trying to show you something. The boat docked on
your porch.

You can try to expand your list with other items and begin linking them together and create a mini link story such as this one.
