00:00Welcome back sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about how to stop forgetting things, boost your memory with
00:14these tips. You know how you can forget something right when it matters, even though you just
00:19reminded yourself. Like needing shampoo but only thinking of it in the shower, not at the store.
00:24That's called prospective memory, remembering to do something in the future. Unlike trying
00:29to recall a fact, like someone's name, this type of memory helps you remember things like
00:33taking your meds on time, grabbing your work keys, switching the laundry, stopping by the pharmacy,
00:39and calling someone during office hours. The good news, you can actually train yourself to get
00:43better at this using internal and external memory tools. Internal techniques, mental habits that help
00:49jog your memory at the right time. 1. Implementation intention. Tell yourself exactly when and where
00:54you'll do something. Example, if I turn onto Lancaster Avenue, I'll stop at CVS. Say it out loud and write
01:01it down to lock it in. 2. Imaginal action. Picture yourself doing the task. Example, visualize walking
01:08into the store and picking out a Mother's Day card. 3. Performance prediction. Ask, will I remember
01:13to do this? When, where? It helps your brain take it seriously. 4. Routine building. Tie the task to a daily
01:20habit. Always take your eyedrops before bed, for example. 5. Repeat it often. Remind yourself more
01:26than once. For example, keep telling yourself to get off one stop early to meet your friend.
01:31External techniques. Stuff outside your brain that does the remembering for you. 1. Cues. Put reminders
01:37where you'll see them. Example, pill bottle on your breakfast table, coupon with your credit card, etc.
01:432. Allies. Ask someone to remind you. But be kind, they're human too. 3. Apps and alarms. Set
01:50labeled phone alerts or use reminder apps. Some use location to nudge you right when you need it.
01:554. Back up the backup. Use both mental tricks and physical reminders, just in case one fails.
02:00You can totally get better at remembering to remember. Build routines, use reminders,
02:04and don't just rely on your brain alone. Give it some support. You've got this.
