Decide what you want to remember. It could be that you have a doctor appointment, or anything!

1. 
   2
   Find a random item, like a towel, or a bag of chips.
2. 
   3
   Put your item in a place where you wouldn't want it. For example, put the towel in the middle of the floor, or put a toothbrush by a fishtank.

   4
   Leave the item where you put it, and forget about it.

   Later when you see the item you will think, "Why is that out? Oh yeah, I have a doctor appointment!" or whatever you wanted to remember.

   Put the item away, unless you want to remember what you wanted to remember longer.

   Another method is if you want to remember a list of items then visualize every item in the form of funny animation and make a film in your mind. For example suppose you wan to remember a list consisting of PEN, BAG, NOTEBOOK, VEGETABLE, RICE, OFFICE, CAKE, WIFE'S BIRTH DAY, PARTY ITEMS then you may visualize like following sequence and recall all the items at any time in the future: "PEN is entering the BAG, BAG is on the NOTEBOOK, NOTEBOOK is eating VEGETABLE, VEGETABLE is being added in the RICE, RICE is thrown every where in the OFFICE, OFFICE is filled with CAKE, CAKE is being thrown in your WIFE'S face on her BIRTHDAY and all the PARTY ITEMS get spoiled. "

   One recalls well anything that is in the form of a story and therefore you have to visualize wildly everything you want to remember and then recall later easily !
