저녁노을
ㅎㅎ 저를 두고 하시는 말씀인것 같아요 점점 나이가 들수록 깜박 깜박 하는거 같아요. 직장에 다닐땐 업무에 지장을 주면 안되니까 포스트잍과 볼펜을 가지고 다니면서 메모하는 습관이었는데 집에 있으니 안하게 되네요.

Professor Gary Small of Hackensack College of Medicine, who has been studying the brain for over 40 years, said in an interview with the American weekend news magazine 'Parade' that "people have much more control over memory maintenance and brain health than they think" and introduced a simple three-step technique for maintaining memory.
“The various ways to compensate for age-related memory decline can be summed up in three words: see, capture, and connect,” he said.
"Seeing" means focusing attention. "The biggest reason people forget is because they're distracted and don't learn the information in the first place," he explained.
"Taking a snapshot" means keeping it in your head like a photograph. "Snap a mental snapshot of what you want to remember later," he said. "This allows us to tap into our brain's natural ability to remember visual information."
The final step, "connecting," involves linking mental snapshots together to create personal meaning. "If you can create something meaningful, it will be memorable," he said.
The three-step habit of strengthening your memory sounds great, simple, and even appealing in theory. However, applying it to daily life can be challenging. Professor Small provided specific examples, focusing on situations where people say they find memory impairment most frustrating.
"It's easy to apply this technique to common memory problems, like remembering names or faces," he said. "If you have trouble remembering the names of people you've met before, this three-step technique can help." He added, "If you meet Lisa and she has the Mona Lisa smile, hold that image in your mind. Then, the next time you see her, you'll call her by name."

Eraser in the head
Dementia seems to be the number one disease you really don't want to get.
Rather than the habit of searching for memories
They say that the habit of taking notes is more helpful.
