How do you organize for your brain to function well? In order to remember something most of us would choose to write it down. But where you write it down makes a difference. How many times have we all written something important down on a random slip of paper, only to lose the random slip of paper-ughh!
How you organize for your brain in the physical world can help your brain remember better. Paying attention to the details of life does a world of good when helping to recall and retain information. Here are two tips to begin to organize for your brain.
Have a go-to notebook with them in their pocket, purse, vehicle (or use a notes app). Record or write down any information you gather or think of throughout the day in this one place. Then as soon as you get home or at the end of the day, transition anything you wrote in the notebook or notes app to where it needs to go-your calendar, to do list etc.
Be organized-use a calendar, make to-do lists, and then prioritize them. This all seems simplistic, but when applied to everyday life, it takes away the stress of having to remember so many details. You just need to know where to look to find the details. This simple act is very useful for anyone but especially for those whose memories are not what they used to be.
