I find if I take a walk it frees up the portion of my brain to retrieve information. I try to get in a walk everyday as it helps. When I get a brain freeze for a name it’s usually my anxiety that blocks the retrieval but moving around helps. Google is a big help also.
I also forget names. They usually come back to my brain after an hour or so. Then I think how come I couldn’t remember an hour ago so easy. I am better remembering grocery item if I picture a house with rooms I have to go into to find things. If I need milk I picture a room with a baby sitting in a crib and pouring milk over its head. Carrots I see a rabbit sitting eating carrots. Seems to help
