Struggling to remember formulas, concepts, or work tasks? These science-backed tricks can help you recall information quicker and retain it longer — perfect for students and professionals.
Visualise a familiar place (your room, your street) and “store” information in different spots. Your brain remembers locations far better than raw text.
Health 1. USE THE MEMORY PALACE
Break long information into small, meaningful groups. Phone numbers, equations, and definitions are easier to recall when divided into digestible parts.
Health 2. CHUNK INFORMATION
Review material at increasing intervals — after 1 day, 3 days, a week, and so on. This timing strengthens long-term memory far more than cramming.
Health 3. USE SPACED REPETITION
Create a fun narrative around what you want to remember. Stories activate emotions, imagery, and logic — giving your brain more “hooks” to hold onto.
Health 4. TURN INFORMATION INTO STORIES
Explaining a concept forces clarity, strengthens recall, and shows gaps in your understanding. If no one is around, teach an imaginary class.
Health 5. TEACH SOMEONE ELSE
Diagrams, colour coding, mind maps, and doodles help your brain connect ideas. We remember visuals up to 10x better than plain text.
Health 6. USE VISUAL ANCHORS
Ask yourself: “What does this remind me of?” Linking new concepts to something you already understand creates strong neural pathways that boost memory speed.
Health 7. CONNECT NEW INFO TO OLD INFO
