“Chunking”: This is where you “chunk” long lists into smaller groups to make them easier to remember. For example when we need to remember a phone number we don't remember each number individually, we break the number down into a group of 3 or 4 sets of numbers, making it easier for our minds to get round.
Visualize: Create a vivid picture in your mind – this is often the most effective way to remember as by making a mental picture, you are utilizing a totally different area of your brain and this helps you to add brain power to remember it.
Recite it: Repeat out loud to yourself in your own words want you have just learnt. This is a really simple step you can take to improve your memory. Repeating new information over and over will help to store it deep within your mind and you will retain and be able to recall the information much better.
Make a Rhyme: Making a song or a rhyme can make information easier to remember, it can get stuck in your head, or even though you can’t remember the actual information you can remember the rhyme and then after recalling it you can remember the actual information. A classic is the “30 days hath September, April, June, and November” rhyme to remmber how many days are in each month of the year.
