I’ve made a post previous about how if you want to remember a snippet (of information), you should try associating with something.
Another method that works in the same vein is to externalize the information.
For example, there is a funny video that I wanted to remember.. but I couldn’t. I watch a lot of funny videos it was one of a hundred.
However, I then remembered thinking that I wanted to show the video to my friend and boom, I remembered!
A funny video is just a funny video but because I related it to my friend, it became a part of a larger association of memory and information about my friend.
Associative memory and techniques are an ADHDer’s friend.
It’s a large part of how I’ve improved my memory even when off meds. And yes, its effective for everyone, not just ADHDers.
