So the next time you need to perform well on a task – watch a video that makes you laugh or smile. As long as your smile is authentic – you’ll get the mood-boosting benefits.

Get a whiff of rosemary oil. According to the British Psychological Society, the plant compounds in rosemary boost our so-called “prospective memory” by about 75%. Which helps us remember to take medicine at 2 o’clock, or mail a birthday card on Friday.

Next: Want to reduce your stress and improve your memory? Watch your favorite sitcom. According to the Memosyn Neurology Institute, when people watched a comedy, their stress levels dropped. And people who watched funny videos had lower cortisol levels and did better on memory tests.

Final memory-booster: Get crafty. Mayo Clinic researchers found people who had a creative hobby and stuck with it into old age – or picked up a new hobby – were 73% LESS likely to develop memory problems.
