Improve Your Memory
November 26, 2010
The way we really make our skills permanent and enriched and highly developed, is often through our play experiences.

Do jigsaw puzzles, or even better, make your own. Take a picture from a magazine and cut it into large pieces. Make your cuts curved and angled. Mix up the pieces and put them back together. This helps hand-eye coordination, too.
Put what you visualize in your mind on paper. Next time you are waiting for an appointment, take out a piece of paper, and without looking up, sketch the furniture in the room. Or, try sketching a room you remember from your childhood.
Improve your retrieval and speed. With a kitchen timer ... write down as many five-letter words as you can in two minutes. As your list grows longer, add to the challenge. Practice with six-, seven-, or eight-letter words. Try to name all the states by their geographical divisions.
