Do not Worry, Be Aware
Much has been said about the power of positive thinking. Recently, a huge train of positive thinking = new-age theories of positive results have been on the tips of the tongue of everyone from Oprah to his employee local convenience store. Just do a Google search for "law of attraction" or "The Secret", if you are not in the loop of worship.
Negative thoughts tarnish our minds, but the cleanliness of the negative and focus on the positive also improves memory and concentration.
Stress is a great destroyer of brain, so minimize stress and negative thoughts that keep your wits.
Apt Quote: "What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can not move, with no hope of rescue. Consider how lucky you are that life has been good so far. Alternatively if life has not been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are not concerned that much longer "-. Douglas Adams
Seeing the future
Having trouble remembering the remaining tasks, appointments, meetings, deadlines, birthdays and other future events?
Here's the secret: When you know you have an upcoming event you do not want to forget, imagine yourself in the event. What are you doing, it's there, what's that smell? Imagine the case ... Better yet, imagine taking the steps leading to the event.
For example ... say that tomorrow you have to call the person. Imagine you are in your home / office, imagine picking up the phone, dial the number to imagine and talk to the person on the other end.

Chunky like your mom
Chunking information is a mnemonic to remember large number of elements. Many people use naturally fragmented remembering phone numbers: Instead of thinking "17342876642" lump us as 1-734-287-6642.
The concept of fragmentation comes from a famous 1956 article by George A. Miller: The magic number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information. If you are a fan of the classics of the history of psychology (I know, who is not?) You can read the original article here.
Write it
Usually we think of "writing things down" as a means to not have to remember anything. The paper does work - just have to remember where you put that piece of paper ...
However, writing things down has another effect: to clear your mind and takes the stress of "having to remember", and in doing so, actually have more space in your glass to remember things. I know that the explanation was not scientific, but it works.
To-do lists are defended by business gurus and soccer moms alike. Try to write everything for a week or two and see how much this improves memory and concentration.
