Big help: i have to remember something. - Help.com

practicing it over and over and over again is the best way to remember it.
according to my psychology textbook.

ew, rote memorization is a horribly boring and time consuming way to remember things.

Most people memorize long sequences or words on a regular basis and don’t really think about it - in songs. Make a song out of it, or just give it some sort of rhythm when you’re trying to memorize it.

Also, when I have to memorize speeches or passages of writing or the like, I always start memorizing the last line first, and then go backwards by line. Then, since you’ve spent more time on later lines and already know them, each time you start on a line it becomes easier as you go on instead of harder.

And, instead of sitting down and practicing it for 100 times all at once until you have it, try only spending the time you need to slightly get the hang of it, and then give yourself a regular signal to recite it - like every time you go to the bathroom, or every time you say the first word “We” to somebody then just go over it in your head.

That kind of stuff works best for me.

I always like to learn things to music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_TXJR…

The preamble actually starts at 1:00

I also have helped young people learn long passages by writing the whole thing on a chalkboard, and reading is over and over again, and then erasing two words (random ones at different places in the sentence) each time we read it over, until it is all erased.

Sounds strange, but it works.

Get some 3×5 cards, write it down over and over again. Speak aloud the words you write then read them as a whole when you are done. This will burn it into your memory.
