Any work of a person is connected with brain activity and memory use. But sometimes it becomes more difficult to remember or remember any information. In this case, you can try to learn to perceive and remember information using other methods.
Instruction manual
one
Facilitate brain function.
Use calendars and planners, maps, address books, make shopping lists, keep all important documents in signed folders. All this is necessary in order to keep routine information available. Keep important items in a conspicuous place, for example, on a table with glasses or keys, with items that you use more often.
2
Simplify the perception of digital information.
A new phone number or personal account is more difficult to remember when it is recorded in one long list. Separate the number in parts, for example, with a hyphen and keep it in a convenient place for yourself.
3
Use all your senses.
The more sensory organs you use, when you learn something new, the more your brain will participate in storing information in memory. For example, a smell can freshen up memories from a distant past, especially with a strong emotional content.
4
Expand your perception.
In the process of perceiving new information, draw pictures or write down all the information (even if you usually never look at your notes). When you want to remember what you just heard or thought, repeat it out loud. For example, if you are introduced to a new employee at work, repeat his name out loud, for example: "Maria, it is very nice to meet you. What are your first impressions of our company, Maria?"
5
Do not try to cram.
Instead of repeating something many times over a short period, for example, cramming material for exams or an important event, divide the time for studying it into different intervals - read once an hour, then every few hours, then every day. Different time intervals between periods is especially effective when you are trying to master complex information.
6
Use the art of mnemonics.
Mnemonics - a combination of various techniques and creative ways to facilitate the memorization and recall of any information. It can take the form of associations with pictures, colors or phrases, rhyming words, applying unusual phraseological phrases, singing a melody, using words with obviously wrong pronunciation, etc.
7
Improve yourself.
Look for ways to focus your brain on a job and gain new knowledge and skills. A hobby is great here. Discuss read books, solve crosswords, play logic games, try new recipes, travel, attend exhibitions, etc.
eight
Move around.
Movement increases brain activity, so the ability to memorize is greatly increased. For example, trying to remember a large text, you can walk from one side of the room to the other.
9
Change the setting.
When preparing several reports on work or study, a good way is to change the situation, for example, divide the text into two parts and read in different rooms, in a park or library. Information stored under various circumstances does not mix in the head and subsequently it is much easier to remember.
