| Tips on remembering what you learn?
Posted: 5/8/2009 6:23:00 PM | Does anyone know of any tips on helping you remember what y0u learn? I swear I can barely remember my own birthday let alone someone else's.
Also I was thinking about taking up some random things to learn about (ex: maybe taking up another language, brushing up on my math skills, etc...) THOSE seem like they would be hard. How can you really make something hard a bit more enjoyable?

When I taught my sons things--we would make songs and sing them and it made it easier. | |

Posted: 5/8/2009 7:35:38 PM | | There's probably thousands of methods for improving memorization skills; but I'm not gonna do your googling for you... I'd say do a search for "improving memory" and see if that brings you joy... Different methods work better for some than others; and a diligent search will get you results that won't ask for money... Nice tat, by the way... | |

Posted: 5/9/2009 1:52:14 AM | The only two ways I've found for myself would be, A) I want to know it. or B) I HAVE to know it.
I think the best way to learn something, if it's an indisputable fact, is learn it by rote, something they apparently don't teach anymore. For example 3x3 is 9. (I think, math was never my strong point). You just learn that's the way it is and don't bother with 3 apples in 3 groups to figure out 9.
For me, it all comes down to what it is I am attempting to learn. I never learn anything by taking notes, because I always make super short hand notes, then have no idea what my shorthand means when I go to study it.
If you have some vague idea of what your learning style is, it'll be easier for you to narrow down. | |
