Memory

There is no simple answer to the question, "How can I enhance my memory?" But there are some general points one can make. Firstly, you have to practice. Practice remembering things. Secondly, use your memory. Preferring to make notes all the time rather than rely on one’s memory is a terrible mistake. It's certain that you actually risk making your memory worse that way. In order to utilize your memory, you have to be keen to remember- eager to remember. If you really mean to remember things, you can. And thirdly, always make associations when you want to remember anything.
