Remembering a List of Items

For remembering a list of items you can use the Story Method. Simply take the words you need to remember and make them into a story by modifying the words as needed. Let's say you need to remember a list of errands and a grocery list:

Post office- drop off mail, check PO Box

Health food store - buy ground flax seed

Blockbuster - return movies

Grocery Store - bananas, salad, chicken, kashi, croutons, cupcakes

Here's how your story might go:
The Post man came to the house today to Drop off the Mail and he had a Box with him. He was the ultimate example of Health and his hair was like golden Flax. He tripped over the kids' Blocks on the patio, Busting down their building. He Returned to his truck Moving his body in a very strange manner. He then grabbed a Grocery bag from his truck. He dumped it out onto our patio and this is what we saw. A yellow BANdana was at the bottom, there was a Chicken with a Crew cut sitting on a Kushion. He was wearing a necklace of Salad and eating Cake out of a Cup.

Of course, you could just write out a list, but sometimes you don't have paper. Give it a try. At the very least this exercise will give your brain a great workout.
