12 Apps And Online Tools To Help You Stop Forgetting Things

It’s one of the many quirks associated with growing older – your memory becomes a little less reliable. Fortunately, scientists have worked for years trying to figure out how and why we start forgetting things with age, and many tech businesses have jumped on the results and released apps and tools to help you stop being so absent-minded. Thankfully all of this research and work have resulted in plenty of choices when it comes to brain training exercises online, and the following 12 apps and tools include some of the best options to make sure you remain alert and aware.

1. Remember the Milk

This is a great tool for anyone who likes to receive updates through their smartphone. With this app, instead of trying to remember everything you have to do, or writing a list that can be easily lost, you can simply write down your tasks on your phone, alongside when they need to be done. You’ll then receive a text, email or other forms of notification to remind you of what you need to do. What’s great is that you can also set repeat reminders.

2. Paper Fellows

It’s been acknowledged for years that writing is a great exercise for your brain. Being creative and finding an outlet for your emotions is also great for a whole variety of mental health issues, so the fact that it can help you remember things too is just an added bonus.

3. Evernote

One of the biggest problems with making to-do lists is that once you put that list down, it can seem lost forever. That’s no longer a problem with Evernote, as when you write something down on one device, it is then available on everything. This means you can make a note on your computer then check it on your phone while you’re out and about.

4. Instapaper

If you always see interesting articles or recipes online and then can never find them later, then this could be a great app for you. This app allows you to save documents you find online so you can easily access them later, and it also allows you to make notes which you can highlight, so you can make sure anything important jumps out at you.
