Improve your Memory

 


  Hmm, where do I put my car keys? What is my shopping list? What's my name?. Well, you're not alone who forgot anything. Everyone forgets things occasionally. Our memories are an integral part of who we are, but as we get older our memory declines. There are 2 different memory, long-term memory, and short-term memory. Long-term memory is a memory in which you hold information in your brain from the past. On the other hand, short-term memory is the capacity to hold small amounts of information in the brain. Still, memory loss is nothing to take lightly.

  Alright, without further due here is the little advice to improve your memory.

  The first thing to do is repeat and retrieve. Any time you learn something new information, you're more likely to mentally record that information if it's repeated. Repeat what you hear out loud and try using it in a sentence. Write it down and read it aloud. Also, try to retrieve the information without looking at where you wrote it down. Practicing retrieval creates more long-term memory.

  The second one is a focus. Focus your attention is one of the major components of memory. In order for information to transfer from your short-term memory into your long-term memory. Try to study in a place free of any distractions such as television, mobile, and other distractions. 

  The third one is physical activity and staying mentally active. Doing physical activity could increase blood flow to your whole body, including your brain. This might help keep your memory sharp. On the other hand, mental activity will stimulate activities that help keep your brain in good shape. Try to play crossword puzzles or maybe learn to play some musical instrument. 

  The last one is to have some sleep. Researchers agreed that sleep is important for memory and learning. Having a nap after you learn something new can actually help you learn faster and remember better. But it doesn't mean you have to sleep all day long without doing anything. 

  Ladies and gentlemen, that's all a little advice to improve your memory. I hope this advice is helpful to you for improving your memory either short or long-term. Thank you and have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
