When to seek help for memory loss
3. Get organized
You're more likely to forget things if your home is cluttered and your notes are in disarray. Jot down tasks, appointments and other events in a special notebook, calendar or electronic planner. You might even repeat each entry out loud as you jot it down to help cement it in your memory. Keep to-do lists current and check off items you've completed. Set aside a place for your wallet, keys and other essentials.
Limit distractions and don't do too many things at once. If you focus on the information that you're trying to retain, you'll be more likely to recall it later. It might also help to connect what you're trying to retain to a favorite song or another familiar concept.
