A method of assisting memory includes determining a task to be remembered, selecting a ring, opening the ring holder, removing a selected ring from the ring holder, closing the ring holder, placing the selected ring on a finger, and viewing the selected ring on the finger for remembering the task. A packaged memory assisting system includes the rings and ring holder and a card, the card having a first slot, the ring holder threaded through the first slot, wherein the ring holder is closed for preventing the rings from falling off the ring holder.
