73% of older adults worry about their memory abilities...
Wordplay can fend off forgetfulness...
ALLITERATE!!!
To better remember a to-do list item, try creating an alliteration...a phrase that contains repeating consonant sounds (like the one above)
Researchers had subjects read poetry and prose both silently and aloud...later participants recalled passages containing alliterative phrases much better than others...they suggest keeping the phrases simple...ones like exercise at eight or dial the doctor may even augment your healthy lifestyle...
I have no idea at what age one becomes an older adult...but I think I are one!!!

Appreciative of alliteration advice, as always.
Love living, listening and laughing while learning!
