If you have had a faulty memory occasionally or even often, you're not alone. Many people do. Perhaps you have driven home from the store, only to remember something that you should've gotten but didn't. Or perhaps you've forgotten important dates, such as anniversaries or birthdays.

Wow, what a bummer. You have once again forgotten your wedding anniversary, and you know it is time to work on memory improvement. There are a variety of great tips and techniques that can help you to improve your memory drastically so you won't have to worry about forgetting simple things, such as your anniversary ever again.

There are several different categories for your memory. These include remembering dates and events, names and faces, factual information and lists. In each of these areas there are different techniques and tools that you can use for your memory improvement.

If you are a person that always is forgetting names, there are a variety of things you can do to help yourself remember. Many people use a common trick by associating some type of rhyme with the person's name. When you are first introduced to someone new, it is a great idea to make sure that you immediately repeat their name a couple times while you are speaking to that person. This helps you get it into your short term memory before you forget it altogether.

To help lock this name into your long term memory the next thing you do is associate it with a rhyme of some sort. e.g. Tony the pony. Now every time you see that person for the rest of the night repeat to yourself in your mind "tony the pony" and start to imagine that person as a pony. Once you've got this locked into your mind it's vertually impossible to forget. Improvement of your memory really is that simple.

The other great thing to do is try to match your rhyme to a common feature about their appearance. By doing this it will help to recognize them in the future as well.

Another common technique for the improvement of your memory when it comes to lists is to make a word a saying/sentence or just remember the first letters of the list. By doing this it will help to jog your memory to exactly what was on the list. For example if you had to go to the shop and remember 5 items you could do it like follows.

Lollies
Bread
Chocolate
Apples
Ketchup

Have a look at your list and in this case we can re-arrange it to be.

B read L ollipops A pples C hocolate K etchup

Now you can see that the first letters in the list spell the word, "Black." All you have to remember when you go shopping is the word "Black," and you'll be able to easily remember the things that are on your list, since they start with the letters of this word.

Once you learn all these easy little memory improvement tools you'll be able to have a fantastic memory in virtually no time at all.
