12 упражнений, которые помогли мне развить память и внимание

How well our memory is developed determines how much information we can remember. A well-trained memory improves concentration, increases productivity, develops thinking and creativity, and protects the brain from age-related changes. To improve your memory, you first need to understand how our brain works. The brain works like a computer, but unlike a computer, it can never be 100% full: it stores an unlimited amount of information. To avoid overload, our gray matter has a remarkable function: forgetting. This is a natural phenomenon that we cannot prevent. But you can improve your brain's function—you just need to train it to separate irrelevant information from relevant information and learn to remember the truly important things. Exercises: 1. Creating New Routes Going to work/school or returning home the same way is not only boring but also unhealthy for your memory. Give your brain new experiences—take a different route. 2. Match Game Toss five matches on the table and memorize their placement for a few seconds. Then turn away and try to recreate the picture on a different surface using the other five matches. 3. Working with Schulte Tables A table of squares containing random numbers from 1 to 25. You need to find all the numbers in order within a certain amount of time. 4. Reading Aloud Read, clearly pronouncing each word. Don't do this monotonously, but with emotion, as you would in real life, imagining that you are simply talking to a friend. Read aloud for at least 10-15 minutes daily, and within a month you will already see noticeable results. 5. Eavesdropping While walking down the street or on public transportation, try to overhear and remember a fragment of a conversation between strangers. Afterwards, try to repeat what you heard to yourself with the desired intonation, and also mentally picture the faces of those who said it. 6. Boosting Your Imagination Imagination is also a great brain exercise. To develop it, try playing association games or creating pictures like drudles: draw a squiggle and then transform it into a normal drawing. 7. Composing a Story Take any 3-4 words and create a story based on them. Ideally, they should all fit in one sentence. 8. Retelling The best way to remember is to retell it to someone else. When you retell what you've read to someone, you understand the text better and convey it in your own words. This way, it sticks better.
