COULD ANYONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF SOME STRATEGIES FOR REMEMBERING THE DAY OF THE WEEK. THE CENTER THAT I GO TO DOES NOT DIFFERENTIOATE BETWEEN DAYS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
LINDA
To remember the days of the week, I usually use my cell phone. I also have a small pocket calendar I keep with me as a means to organize the dates.
Also, try various brain puzzles to build up cognitive function. Go to the store and get puzzles which will also help to strengthen the brain.
Calanders are key ! I kep a desk calander bedside, and cross off the days of the week each night, so When I wake up groggy in the morning, I am prepared to see my calander and know the day, and that day's schedule! I too, use the cell phone's calander a lot also
My grandmother subscribed to the newspaper for that purpose. Glad to hear from you. The cell phone also works.
Take care,
Debbie
Hi Linda-Some ideas:
-Mark off days on a calendar when you wake up
-Journal daily with the day/date as the heading
-Watch the weather, nesw, or some show that mentions the day/date
Whatever method you choose, probably doing it for 21 days to build that habit should somewhat “lock it in”.
