What are some good memory methods

We often forget things, especially as the pressure of life increases and we get older, our memory becomes worse and worse. We were just thinking about something, but in a blink of an eye we forgot what we were doing. We are also busy at work and forget many things suddenly. So we want to improve our memory through some methods. So what are some good memory methods?

1. Pay attention and concentrate . As long as you concentrate and focus on memorizing and exclude distractions and outside interference, the cerebral cortex will be left with deep memory traces and will not be easily forgotten. If you are distracted and multitasking, your memory efficiency will be greatly reduced.

2. Strong interest . If you are bored with the learning materials and knowledge objects, it will be difficult to remember them even if you spend more time on them.

3. Understand and remember . Understanding is the basis of memory. Only things that are understood can be remembered for a long time. It is not easy to remember something just by rote memorization. For important learning content, if you can combine understanding and memorization, the memory effect will be better.

4. Overlearning . That is, on the basis of remembering the learning materials, remember them several times until you are familiar with them and remember them by heart.

5. Review in time . The speed of forgetting is fast at first and then slow. It is an effective way to strengthen memory traces and prevent forgetting to strike while the iron is hot and review and consolidate the knowledge just learned in a timely manner.

6. Recall often . When studying, constantly trying to recall can correct memory errors, make up for omissions, and make up for difficult points in the learning content more firmly. Frequently recalling objects you have memorized in the past during your spare time can also help avoid forgetting.

7. Combination of audio and video . You can simultaneously utilize the language function and the functions of the visual and auditory organs to strengthen memory and improve memory efficiency. Much better than silent reading alone

8. Multiple means . Depending on the situation, flexible use of classification memory, chart memory, shortened memory, as well as making outlines, taking notes, cards, etc. can all enhance the memory.

9. Best time . Generally speaking, 9-11 a.m., 3-4 p.m., and 7-10 p.m. are the best times for memory. Using the above-mentioned learning materials that are difficult to remember in terms of time will have better results.

10. Use your brain scientifically . On the basis of maintaining the brain by ensuring nutrition, active rest, physical exercise, etc., using the brain scientifically, preventing excessive fatigue, and maintaining a positive and optimistic mood can greatly improve the brain's working efficiency, which is the key to improving memory.

11. Learn a foreign language . Elderly people who master two languages ​​will develop Alzheimer's disease four years later than others. Learning a foreign language can increase the density of gray matter in the hippocampus area of ​​the brain and enhance a person's memory.

12. Carry a notebook with you . A good memory is no match for a bad pen. Keep a notebook with you and write down what you need to do the next day before going to bed. Divide the things into three levels according to their importance: "necessary", "important" and "unimportant". Cross out each item as you complete it according to priority. This will greatly improve your ability to handle work.
