How to Remember
I've got a trick for remembering things that, to me at least, feels like magic. It was particularly useful in Biology courses where I would have to remember a large set of terminology like family names of fishes.Just imagine a route you regularly take. Ideally a walk where you have time to consider your surroundings, but any route where you can remember landmarks will do. Now assign each thing you need to remember to a specific landmark. That's it. I've found that if I go through this process and then review it just once in my mind I can remember everything with 100% accuracy.I used this trick recently to remember a gate code by assigning numbers to nearby architecture. I'd have a terrible time trying to remember it any other way.
