Imagine how much better you’d remember stuff if you even put a couple of these methods into place.
Here’s what I’d do: I’d choose ONE of those methods (the one you like the most and which suits your personality the best), and I’d commit to doing that method religiously, every day for a week.
That should give you enough time to see if that particular method does you any good — AND it will build a great habit of it for you.
… then I’d pick a second method the second week, and add that as a new habit and do that religiously as well for the second week. (Obviously, if one method doesn’t work for you, just stop doing it.)

A typical Western diet with lots of delicious fats isn’t just harming you in the long term — giving you diabetes, obesity and heart failure.
No, your diet is also taking a toll on your memory. Right now.
Researchers at Oxford University have found that fatty foods takes a n almost immediate toll on short-term memory . A study of 32 rats who were trained to remember a maze, showed that rats given fatty foods for a few of days after the training, started making errors when traversing it.
Studies on rats are always interesting and may give us indications of what happens in humans, but Dr Andrew Murray, who led the work at Oxford, says that preliminary human data seems to indicate the same connection — fatty foods lead to a decline in short-term memory.
“It’s nothing short of a high-fat hangover,” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, that published the study.
So no matter what you want to excel at, remember to also keep your body in shape. Your powers of memory, focus and attention will surely benefit.
Take care (of yourself),

The development of a drug that controls a chemical used to form memories sparked heady scientific and philosophical speculation this week. Story at Wired.
Do you brush your teeth once a year? Or a couple of times every day?
Brushing your teeth every day is a good habit — and one that most of us have been instilled with by our parents, when we were smaller. It’s a habit that helps you keep your teeth through most of your life.
How do you feel if you go a day or two without brushing your teeth?
Well, not good. This ritualistic cleansing is an integral part of you — of who you are and how you behave.
Now there are many other habits our parents could have taught us,but didn’t. Some of them because they simply didn’t know about them. Others because it doesn’t feel right to force too many habits upon our kids. Yet some would be very powerful, and would create beautiful, great results, if practiced habitually… ritualistically … persistently … consistently.
The effects of doing something that’s good for you, again and again and again, can be incredible.
Life is full of surprises. Not long ago, we discovered we’re having twins! Finding out was an exhilarating mixture of terror and pure joy. In the beginning I just couldn’t fathom how we were going to get the logistics to work — how do you travel with a 2.5 year old and two babies? I still really don’t know, but I’m realizing we are going to make this work
A couple of weeks ago we went to have a 3D ultrasound, and I’ve finally gotten around to uploading a picture of each twin.
