Even at the best of times our memory can fail, leaving us hopelessly fumbling for that case name or trying to remember who had the onus of proof.

Here are a few ways in which you can remember anything :

  • Quiz, Don’t Reread – Recalling information builds pathways that strengthen recall in the future. Passive exposure rarely makes things stick.
  • Visualise It – Associating information to sensations is memorable, and vision is the strongest sensory cue for most people.
  • Structure It – Break up the information into parts or sub parts. Put related things together in a meaningful order.
  • Give It Meaning – Your brain is set up to capture information that means something to you. Before you try to remember something, be sure you understand it.
  • Relate It To Yourself – Personal relevance makes things stick and takes advantage of what you already know.
  • Create A Cue – Figure out what is most forgettable about the information and link that to something that’s more vivid or easier to recall.

  1. These helpful tips are so very true. I have had to memorize a lot of material in the past as both a law student and a theater actor. The type of material is very different, of course, but the memorization process is similar.
