what's got us buzzing

It's time to exercise your brain!

These recall exercises focus on working your long-term memory:

Make a small list and memorize it: Examples include a small to-do list, a grocery list, or even a list of your favorite books or songs. Start small with five items, then work your way up over time.
Remember four details: This is just what it sounds like — aim to memorize four specific details related to a person, place, or item. The goal is to test yourself and see if you can recall them later on in the day.
Say the ABCs backward: You may remember the ABCs in their usual forward order. Test your memory to see if you can say (or sing) them in reverse.
Silently repeat what others say: The next time someone tells you something, repeat what they said in your mind.

The following matching exercises may improve short-term memory skills and concentration:

Play memory games that require matching photos, colors, or shapes.
Match pairs of numbers within a traditional card deck.
Organize a card deck by number, color, and/or suit.

Playing ordering games can help boost your memory, focus, and self-esteem. You can try:

puzzles
word searches
crossword puzzles
sudoku
tic-tac-toe
