How to Memorize Fast & Easily
Hey guys! What’s up? Today I’m going to share some tips on how to memorise things fast and easily! I’m not going to talk about the common tips that most of you guys already know, such as turning the writings into pictures, or making a song out of them, or using colourful pens to write the materials down so you can memorise them more easily Instead, I’m going to talk about the not so common tips taught by Yudi Lesmana who is an International Grand Master of Memory from Indonesia The main key to these memorizing techniques is to turn everything into a story So if you're trying to memorise some words, try putting them into a story instead of memorizing them in a linear way But what if I’m trying to memorise numbers and formulas, huh? How am I supposed to turn them into a story? You’re being unrealistic here! UNSUBSCRIBE!!!1! Fret not because I’m also going to tell you some ways to turn numbers and formulas into things that are easier to memorise! Let’s say you want to memorise this account confirmation code for some reason Of course you can just read & repeat it once in your head and you’ll be able to memorise it for a few seconds but we want to put it in our long term memory, so the read and repeat method is not the most effective way to do it What you need to do is to take each letter and associate it with something that starts with that letter After that, make a story using all those words, like this: RAFFEE SCREAMS when a KID HUGS VALENTINO Rossi under the UMBRELLA It’s way easier to remember that absurd story than to remember rskhvu, right? If you think that the previous method is too time consuming you can always group the letters first before then searching for the words containing those letters Let’s divide the code into 3 groups of 2 letters each RS KH and VU Now let’s search for a word or a combination of 2 words that contain those letters Now let's make a story using those words RoSsi thinks that Kingdom Hearts is a VUlgar game That surely takes less time to make than the previous method and it’s also easy to remember If you want to memorise numbers, there are 2 ways to do it first is to change the number into something that has a similar shape to that number then create a story out of all the numbers, just like in the previous methods The second way is to swap that number with something that represents that number’s value For example, I can swap the number zero with my wallet because my wallet has zero money inside of it AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Haha.
Ha.
You can swap those numbers with anything you want; it doesn’t have to be the same as what I use.
Memorising formulas can be a bit tricky since they have symbols in them However, you can always change those symbols into other things that remind you of them Let’s use the formula to calculate distance as an example We can change the equal symbol into a bridge, because it kind of looks like a bridge and we can change the X into Professor Xavier from X-Men Then combine them with the rest of the formula and turn them into a story Squirtle crosses a bridge and joins Venausaur and Xavier to defeat Trump The weirder the story, the more you will remember it If you’re trying to memorise difficult words you can change them into other words that have similar spelling or sound that are easier to memorise For example, let’s say you want to memorise the animal classification sequence starting from Kingdom to Species Here we have 2 words that are quite foreign to our ears or at least to MY ears which are Phylum and Genus Before putting those words into one story, I’m going to change them into Film and Genos you know, that cyborg from One Punch Man After that, I can then combine them into one story In a kingdom far far away, there is a legendary film that is always being played inside the classroom The film contains a strict order for the Addams Family to rescue a cyborg named Genos because he’s an endangered species Again, the story doesn’t have to make sense because the important thing is that it helps you remember things easier You can also utilize the things around you, for example your body to help you memorise things easier Let’s say you want to memorise the items you want to buy in the grocery store, which are Apple, soap, shampoo, carrot, chocolate, milk, potato chips, and tissue You can “place” each item onto your body starting from the top until the bottom, and associate it with each body part You use shampoo on your hair You wash your face with a soap You shove the carrot in your nostril You bite the apple with your teeth You gulp the milk down your throat You drop potato chips allover your chest Chocolate makes your tummy fat You wipe your butt with tissue When you arrive at the grocery store and forget what you’re supposed to buy just remember the items that you associate with your body parts starting from your hair down to your feet It’ll be much easier than to memorise them from a list that you wrote down on a piece of paper You can also use other things aside from your body, for example your car or the things in your living room, or anything else as long as you remember the order of the items there Of course you also have to constantly train your brain in order to strengthen your memory especially now that we are so spoiled with all kinds of technology that we rarely use our brains to memorise and calculate things Some simple things I like to do to train my brain are counting the bills without using calculator memorizing the book page instead of using a bookmark memorizing my friend’s number before putting it on my contact list memorising my parking number without taking a picture of it and memorising the usernames of my active viewers Those things might be simple but they will definitely help you improve your memory if you do it constantly And if you do them often enough you’ll be able to memorise things without even having to use the methods taught in this video So those were some of the tips I could share with you guys today, I hope you guys found them useful If you have any other memorising tips you’d like to share then feel free to leave them in the comments below!
