Sharpen recall by doodling daisies

Here’s a fun trick to hold on to vivid memories of planting a garden with your grandkids: Doodle what you did, like drawing a flower or a watering can. Canadian scientists say sketching helps you recall twice as many details later on than if you hadn’t picked up a pen. Because drawing requires both visual and motor skills, it locks in information in two ways so it “sticks.”

OR LOOK LEFT! Then right, then left… Moving your eyes from side to side for 30 seconds improves recall by up to 42% for 1 hour, U.K. scientists say. It boosts communication between brain cells to help jog your memory.
