How to improve your memory

Do you find yourself struggling to recall conversations, information or deadlines throughout the day? Here are three ways you can improve your memory at work and in your everyday life:

Take handwritten notes — research shows that handwriting kickstarts learning and memorization processes in your brain that are not replicated by typing or other forms of digital note-taking. 

Get more sleep — one of the most essential neurological processes for memory formation is consolidation, which occurs during sleep.

Give yourself reminders — schedule emails to your future self to remind you of tasks or information, or use an app to manage your schedule.
