Here are some tips on how to memorize thing easily by using simple techniques that makes a difference in your learning habit:
- Relax and let go of any concerns, make a decision to remember. This is first and most important step that you need to take. State your intention of memorizing things and remember the words positively.
- Plan regular breaks Learning is more effective in regular, short bursts of about 30 minutes each.Review during and after learning
- Repeat what you have learned, immediately after first encountering it and again after exploring it. Use short amount of time when reviewing each topic and only review the notes you took or the highlighted sections-never the original book.
- Organize the material meaningfully. Concepts can be easily remembered when they labeled with keywords and simply memorizing that word. Later, when you recall the keyword, you will also recall all the concepts.
- Invent a mnemonic. This is one of the most common and useful way in memorizing things. An acronym is a word made up from the first letter of what you are trying to remember.
- learn the concepts as a whole. There are times when you need to memorize a lot of material by heart. Here’s a technique. Don’t learn it bit by bit or line by line, you’ve got to learn it as a whole.
- Read it all the way through thoroughly, making sure you understand it.
- Reread it again quite quickly. And again.
- Reread it aloud and now hear the words in your mind
- Reread it again loud with as many visual pictures as you can produce. Imagine everything as clearly as possible.
- Reread it again aloud, and add actions or movement, as appropriate.
- Repeat this whole pattern again from stage 1 to 5.
