I've read some books on memory, and most suggest that making stronger mental connections is the way to go. I've found this to be true. I diet, exercise, meditate, practice good sleep hygiene, and try to come up with new tactics to remember things I want to remember. For instance, someone told me about an icebreaker they do with their class where they have their students associate their name with an adjective that they think best describes them as a person. I immediately picked this up because I pay a lot of attention to behavior and believe that connecting the two will make it stronger where other icebreakers don't help me as much.

I eat seeds, especially celery seeds, I also had the 23andme Alzheimer's gene test so I'm good, I also have never been a drinker, just 420. I think alcohol has a lot to do with it, and is much more cruel to women.

Check out the peg system. I read about it in one of Derren Browns books

When i was very young my grandfather told me he built rooms.in his mind to remember things. I thought it was a super cool idea and have been doing that without even thinking about it since I was little. There's a fancy word for the technique but I can't see to remember it hahahahahah

A key techniques is cognitive mapping -- the building of distinct patterns of connected facts and beliefs, and of strategies for hooking new facts and ideas to the structure. Another is mnemonic devise. Another is strategies for memory scanning.
