Is there an easy way to remember the signs used for the mirror equation? For lenses? How does one keep the signs separate with talking about mirrors and lenses? I find it confusing... Please help, thanks!

You simply cram the mirror equation.And switch appropriate sign in appropriate cases.There is no other alternative.
