''THE MIND IS LIKE A TRUNK;IF WELL-PACKED,IT HOLDS ALMOST EVERYTHING ;

IF ILL-PACKED,NEXT TO NOTHING''   A. W. HARE AND J. C. HARE

 If you find it difficult to concentrate and remember when you want to read something, try to recall your childhood friend's name , want to study well for examinations, remembering shopping list at grocery store, it is a very common problem and many of us struggle with it at some phases of life . 

we can apply simple but effective principle of memory in our day today life as well as in during our academic period to get best memory and sharp mind.

 

 Here are few points to follow and apply.

MAKE AN INTENTION AND EFFORTS TO REMEMBER----Going for a new place on vacation, starting a new hobby class, starting a new chapter in your class,going for grocery shopping ,in any situation ,try to be more eager and adoptive for new information. If you set  an INTENTION to learn something, you will spend less time reviewing that information later. Learn new skill actively to identify and make yourself accountable for information you need to remember for rest of your life. You must cultivate an INTEREST in what you  are trying to learn.  Add some MEANING into it.

            Mind always runs away from unknown. so your understanding of new material mostly depends on how much you already know about the topic and how much you can co relate it with previous data. Increasing your basic knowledge , reviewing your topic in advance and try to find and link some information into new topic will help you to build background for new solid understanding. Try to see BIG PICTURE before remembering anything in detail.

BE SELECTIVE IN CONTENT SELECTION----  BE SPECIFIC on content selection which you want to learn. it is not possible to learn all information of the world. Making categories of the content is the most important step to learn smoothly, systematically and effectively.

REPETITION FOR BETTER CONNECTIONS ----After your first initial reading, take a short break. QUIZ YOURSELF MENTALLY what you have just learnt, is the first and foremost important step in remembering the content later. Saying your material aloud in your own words is probably the most powerful tool to register information from short term to long term memory. MAKING MENTAL PICTURE of what you remember, will trigger an entirely different part of the brain than by only listening or writing. Making connections of what you already know and what new information you want to learn , will enhance your learning multiple times. TRY TO MAKE ASSOCIATIONS between known information and yet to learn information as much as you can.

ALLOW TIME FOR CONNECTIONS TO SOLIDIFY--Your brain needs short and frequent interwell to grasp all information you put into it. That's why it is recommendable to study in short study session distributed over several days than fewer but long study session.
