The more things you do at once, the less likely you are to remember any of them. Sometimes that's no biggie -- if you're flipping through a catalog and watching a sitcom, who cares? But if you're hunting for flights on the Internet while talking on the phone and listening to the radio, well, good luck -- both the flight info and the conversation will probably be a blur. The solution's obvious: When something is important, be single-minded.

To sharpen your recall of new information -- whether it's health instructions, vital dates, or learning how to work your new cell phone -- make it easy for your mind to absorb it. Limit distractions and focus on the matter at hand, not three other things as well. If other tasks keep popping into your head, stop and jot them down on a notepad. Then go back to what's really important. It's a good bet that this time it will stick with you.
