Memory, senses and writing

He was worried about his memory as he mentioned me that he always forget important dates and the timings which he fixed to meet with others. He started criticizing himself and considered himself as a dull minded. After a few minutes he stopped talking and mean while i asked him that how much senses we use when we hear or we see? He stared at me and keep himself quite. I further said when we hear our sensory reflexes from ear send information to brain and when we see our eye sensory neurons can transfer the pictures to our brain. Mostly we cannot use both senses together. For examples sometimes we see dates at notice borad and some times we hear from someone or someone tells to meet him tomarrow at a particular fixed time. After all that we forget. Now i tell how to memorize it. Take a pen and a piece of paper or your personal diary and start writing the dates and the appointments you have fixed. Now at a time your brain is thinking, your eyes are watching and your hands are writing. As a result your brain receives the same information from multiple senses at a same time and this not only makes you memorize but strength your brain memory. After few weeks he came to me and i was quite surprised to see him very happy and confident. He told that he now memorize things easily by writing it. I smiled and asked how many senses you can use?
