Researchers can’t explain it, but they’ve discovered that people who walk backwards improve their short term memory. They preformed better on five different memory tests than those who stood still or stepped forward. Participants were given something to remember then told to walk backwards for 30 feet. Asked questions about what they were told to commit to memory and “the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the forward-walkers and the non-walkers.”
Even just visualizing themselves walking backwards improved recall. More
Hummmmm. So what causes the backward thinking that afflicts Congress, walking forward and trying to chew gum at the same time?
I keep bumping into “people who walk backwards” 🙂

What do they say about people who walk like this?

I tried walking backwards, but forgot why i was doing it.
I wonder what moon walking does for a person’s recall?

I find that a Post-It note will work. I think it will. I’m not sure, it might. I can’t remember.
First though, it was a song by Larry Norman:

Safety tip…#1 Use caution when walking backwards without a backup camera.
#2 Learn from the mistakes of others, because you’ll never live long enough to make them all yourself.
While you’re walking backwards try talking backwards. https://youtu.be/P0niyTcxeqs
Probably would help in remembering where you’ve been.
Don’t know about walking backwards, but I like Curly’s idea;
