Some people use flash cards help remember stuff through rote
repetition. Many people keep a few Wiki:IndexCard?s in a pocket,
each one holding one thing he's trying to memorize. When they're
waiting around at a bus stop, waiting in line, etc., they review
them. Some people punch a hole in each card, then tie them
together with string. That makes it less likely that you'll lose
one as you're walking around reviewing them. It keeps them in
order if you're memorizing something that has an inherent order,
such as lines to a play. It can help you make sure that you've
gone through all of them at least once. But it interferes with
the "shuffling" that some people recommend. You can make it into
a game by writing on both sides of the card. Look at one side,
and try to guess at what's on the other side. Flip it over -- if
you're right, you "win". Don't spend a lot of time thinking on
any one card. Try to keep moving through the pile of cards as
fast as possible. Some people are coordinated enough to review
the cards
