Learn about the Letner System to memorize more effectively.

This technique is based on the Forgetting Curve, which shows we forget most new information quickly. By reviewing material at increasing intervals, you interrupt the forgetting process.

crochet tip: name your stitches

I count as I go: one of eight. two of eight. for each, I think of a fun way to say it, an idea, a memory. Three reminds me of a time loop star trek ep in which Data writes himself a message, the number 3 repeated as many times as possible, to connect with a single thought his future self would have.

It doesn't matter what the thought is, but connect it to your stitch count. now I can put it down and remember what stitch I was on. plus the finished product will absorb all these thoughts and become alive

That one word.

We all know it.

That one word that, the first time you saw it, you had to read three times in a row to even mentally get all the letters in the right order.

That one technical term that you just can’t get into our head, no matter how hard you try.

The one where you always flip two letters, or miss one, or even jumble the syllables.

That one vocabulary that you repeat the most with the flashcard system but still can’t remember.

Somehow no mnemonic trick is doing it.

You’ve tried looking up the etymology of it, you’ve tried to break it down into it’s components, you were so sure a few times now that you’ve seared it into our memory only to draw a blank the next time you need it that you’ve maybe even tried singing it.

I have a new suggestion.

Play hangman with it.

You are the gamemaster.

Ask your partner, your partner(s), your parent, your sibling to humour you for five minutes (or shoot me a message, if I’ve got time I’ll definitely help) - in a best case scenario someone who has no idea what the word even means so you can draw the game out, or, if all else fails build an online game against yourself here, mixed with easier words.

If you play with someone else:

You only get to look at how it’s spelled once, when you draw out the original lines (or type them out, whatsapp or a chat actually work fine, either you do a strikes-thing or actually draw the hanging man on paper and send the photos.

Having to rethink where which letter is helps your brain see the word differently and may help you finally getting it into your head - and it’ll connect to the meaning because whoever you play with probably wants to know for what word they are currently losing hangman ;-)

Memory Tip

Having trouble remembering new names at parties? Try using a person's name a few times in conversation to help it sink in. As an added benefit the other person will like you more since we all have a predisposition to enjoying hearing our own names. Just don't over do it!

The hippocampus is the gateway to memory but can shrink with age. But recent research says that aerobic exercise may be able to reverse that decline.
