The Problem

There are often really important things we need to remember in our day to day lives. These can be minor like remembering to take out the trash or a bit more serious like remembering your anniversary. Regardless of what it is you need to remember though it’s not always easy to do so.

Digging Deeper

The first thing we need to better understand is what our options are when it comes to memory. There are three main categories of memory:

  • Long term memory
  • Short term memory
  • Working memory

The Solution

The answer comes in two steps:

  1. Encoding
  2. Memory Recall
