Can you remember what you had for lunch last week Tuesday? Probably not. Our brains are masters at forgetting information we don’t repeat regularly. But what can we do about it? I, like many others, had to painstakingly learn the art of learning as I went through college. Here are some of my tips for successful learning.
This is something that has helped me tremendously to improve my learning. After a long day at university, it is very tempting to put your bag in the corner. However, I would recommend that you review your transcripts on the same day. Give it a try. There is so much information still in your working memory that can be added as bullet points. Going through the information a second time on the same day prepares what you have learned directly for long-term memory.
