5 SIMPLE WAYS TO BOOST YOUR MEMORY(ABILITY TO REMEMBER THINGS EASILY).

Remembering things easily is something we all desire especially as a student or a worker. This quality propell us forward among our peers. This sometimes contribute to the factor of being brilliant and excellent. It come easily to some people and hard for others. I had a friend when I was in the university, he has this sharp memory that he hardly forget things. He remember things details to details and it extend to books as well. No surprise when he became the scholar of the department. I for one is the opposite of him. I have a very poor memory though I managed to pass in school with an excellent result. I find it difficult to remember things especially dates and cruial details. This made me to find ways to retain my memory because if I don't, it would have been hard to pass in school. Even after school, running a business would have been prettu hard for me. Below I will be sharing with us some of the simple ways I used to boost my memory.

The first thing I do is to practice over and over again. Whenever I'm reading and trying to retain some informations in my bain, I read over and over and practice over and over till the information stick to my brain. After that I try to remember randomly and hold unto the ones that are retained already. The ones lost, I try to read them over again to be able to retain it and remember with the rest. Its not easy though. It requires hardwork.

Another effective way is explaining what I've read to someone. I and my friend usually take time to explain our ideas to one another after reading. She will explain to me how she understands a particular topic and I do the same. You'd be amazed how effective this was. Whenever I'm trying to remember, it easily comes to my memory every single thing we discuss. I can assure you this method works effectively. It doesn't even have to be someone that understands what you're saying but the fact that you're speaking it out have a way of retaining that knowledge in your brain.

Jotting things down have also proven to be very very effective. Whenever I'm in class, I always jot things down. That jotting is usually very easy for me to read. Whenever I'm reading too, I always jot the summary down in a way I will easily understand it. That jotting is what I usually read in preparation for the exam. Aside preparing for exam, any information you try to retain, it always helpful to jot them down.

The use of Acronyms is also very effective in boosting the memory. Yesterday I was taking a class on how to play a guitar and one of the videos I watched talked about learning the keys of each string. The tutor used an acronym which is EADGBE which means Eddy Ate Dynamyte Good Bye Eddy. Forming words with the acronym helps to understand, remember and retain easily. You can make up stories to fit the acronym especially familiar and relatable ones. I don't think I can read without using acronym especially when trying to read a list of many things.

Finally, test yourself. You can make up a quiz by setting up questions based on what you've read. Answer them and mark them. This will help you know the parts you've retained and the parts you need to work on. It also helps to focus your concentration and overcome the fear that might come when writing the real exam. Aside academical knowledge, it helps in every other aspect too. Any form of information you're trying to remember, you can test yourself periodically to see if you're able to remember.

There are lots of other ways to boost the memory but these ones have helped me personally and many others. I use myself as a typical example due to my poor memory and trust me it can be really bad. Being able to pass with a good grade in school took lots of hardwork and following these methods. I'm so glad it worked out and I'm sure it can work for you too. They are simple steps that we might be familiar with but trust me, they work in amazing ways.
