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

@carolina8 When I'm stressing over trying to remember a name, I find that once I stop stressing over it and move on to something else, then that name comes to me seemingly out of the blue. Also, I will sometimes just go through the alphabet and think of names starting with A, then B, then C, and so on. That doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it does. By the way, I like the imagery that you use to help you remember grocery items.
