Memory has been said to be the diary of life we all carry with us. Practically, all of our actions and reactions depend on our memory. Most of us use only five percent to ten percent of our memory capabilities. How can we increase this?

Better ways to remember lengthy lists of items or tasks to be performed are reconciled to a user-friendly acronym, a memorable word comprised of the first letter of each word. Or, another method is to use a ‘mnemonic’ which is a memorable sentencing phrase that contains the correct order of items or tasks.

How memory can be exercised.
