Coping with short term MEMORY PROBLEMS

If you have ever arrived at the bottom of the stairs not knowing why you went down at all, you had a short term memory problem. Whether your short term memory problems are due to medical problems or simple absent-mindedness, there are strategies to cope.

STEPS : 

1. Pay attention. Many short-term memory problems can be attributed not so much to thet ability of the brain, but the ability of the person to focus on a single task . If you have already forgotten the name of nice gentleman who was just introduced to you not five minutes ago,it might not be only a memory problem. Were you are really listening when you were introduced, or were you thinking ahead to what to say next? Make a conscious, active effort to pay attention whenever you know you're likely to forget something.
