You don't need to be old to need your memory, and especially when you are a student and many students will know themselves that they have less than perfect recall.
From Really Long Link comes the following pointers for getting more from your efforts:
1. Review small bits of information on a the topic I am studying on a regular basis (hourly or daily or weekly habits) via note cards or Post-it® notes (tactal, visual) and review aloud (audio) to reinforce said information.
2. Mind-map new information in order to associate or link it with related topics or tasks.
3. Eliminate distractions as I learn and study new topics or learn new tasks.
4. Hyper-focus (if even only for 15-minutes) upon the topic or task at hand.
5. Separate similiar topics so as not to “blend” principles in my head.
6. Divide and conquer! When I am learning new material, working on a big project, doing something I have procrastinated about …
I set my timer to divide blocks of time to focus upon a specific topic or task.7. Find like-minded people to discuss/teach specific topics or tasks in order to imprint via repetition. (And learn from their habits and techniques!)
8. Use it or lose it! Review after study via Steps 1-5. (Especially in the case of new information via conversations or meetings.)
And these are helpful before and after processing information …
9. Aerobic exercise
10. Recreational time!
This is an essential part of deleting unused or temporary files in order for your hard drive to work more efficiently.Well that should give everyone something to think about, we all need to remember things and these tricks should help.
