1.  When trying to remmber names, use the name you are trying to remember as many times as you can rapid fire.  This will train your brain to focus on that name, you can use this with other names too ie: brand names, groceries, even phone numbers!

2.  The more you use a planner to keep your dates the less and less your going to need the planner.  By writng these down it makes you remember to look at your calender, by remembering your calender you remember before even looking at the planner what it was that you needed to do.

3.  When doing homework there are many things you'll need to remember.  From my own doings I have found this tip very helpful.  When reading your books get through the entire page or chapter if you can, then on in a note book jot the summery of what you have just read.  When you are done with that page,chapter, or book read though your note....You have just created a study guide that won't let you fail.  Read that guide over and over untill plastered into your head.

4.  Realating items is also a great way to trigger memory.  For example if you are having trouble remembering numbers, relate those numbers to numbers you can't forget...Phone numbers, socials, birthdays, and by doing this the numbers you need to remember you can't forget them, when they are personal numbers.
