Are you a student? If so, take a subject you are studying and break it down into key words or phrases. If you are working, relate the list to your job. Try famous people's names or animals, just to "jump start" your ABC lists. Or think of a sport or hobby or some topic you are interested in. A book you read recently? What types of things do you want to remember? Think of trips you've taken, or places you've been. Is there a foreign language you know? When I was involved in classes, I guess it was a little bit easier for me to create ABC lists. But you can always create a list just for fun, treat it as a game, and in the process improve your memory and keep your mind active.
