- One of the tips that Sally passed along was the 10-24-7 tip. She said that in order to incorporate something into the long term memory, review it 10 minutes after hearing/reading it, then review in 24 hours, and then a week later. Then it is much more likely to make it to the long term memory, because most things drop out of our memory very quickly."

Retiring minds
Twice this week I made a mistake with my maturing CD. On Monday I went in to the bank to retrieve it. Wrong day. One day too soon and I hadn't read the small (or even medium) print. So yesterday I parked between Huffman's (grocery) and the bank, intending to shop, then retrieve the CD. Forgot. Here's an item from my 2005 blog about Sally Kriska's teaching at Lakeside.

Why is it you can't forget the things you want to forget no matter how old you get?
Do you have someone in mind?
our village post office closes at 10:30 A.M. for an hour as a way to cut costs...it has been this way for several years now. ..but can we remember that in this house...if I had a nickel, as they say for every time I have charged from the house for the post office only to climb the stairs and open the heavy old doors to find the window closed.How many more years will it take to imprint of this increasingly febble mind???

Well, maybe.... I forgot!
