Retention of information is vital if you intend to go very
far in life. Imagine leaving the office and your wife calls you that you should
please get an important soap for her on your way back. As soon as you are done
talking to her, your boss calls that there is an important assignment that you
are supposed to turn in first thing in the morning and he needs to show you
some key points to note; so you quickly dash back into the office and after 30
minutes discussion with your boss, you hop into your car and you drive off.
Then you got home and your wife demanded the soap she asked you to get, no
excuses!!!! you had forgotten so you had to lie that the soap was no longer in
stock when you got there. It could really be embarrassing when you have been
having issues keeping things in your memory and really you should try to
change. Some are blessed with the ability to remember things while others are
not and often times, we hear things like not to worry, you can keep a diary,
get personal assistants, set reminders on your phone and so on.
While these technological tools are wonderful and they are
to be embraced, there is a genuine reason to try and improve on your retention
capacity and this is why I am encouraging you to do this; A lot of us who find
it hard to remember everyday things remember their academic work in school and
things that they consider important to them. Most of these people do not forget
to brush their teeth neither do they forget to go to work nor do they forget
when they are supposed to play golf or some other sport. So I put it to you
that you only try to remember the things you wish to remember.
However, I ask you to please cheer up as I recently came across
an article by Timothy Romano who is a memory expert and he also encourages that
you can learn to improve your memory information. This he says you can do by
learning the act of adding visuals to things you wish to remember and just when
you need to remember, the information would pop up in your head.

P.S: I have tried this and I found that it helped to improve my
memory retention
