Life Juice: TIME’S UP! Stooop!
mentalnoise:
Tik-Tak… Tik-Tak… Tik-Tak…
Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang pagtakbo ng oras kasabay ng pag-ikot ng mundo.
Ang araw ay patuloy sa pagsikat at patuloy sa paglubog; pabalik-balik lang sa pinanggalingan. Ang hangin ay umiihip patungong timog, papuntang hilaga, buong araw na paikot-ikot. Lahat ng tubig…

Repeat information you’re trying to memorize to yourself every few days or so.
This is called spaced repetition learning. We are more likely to remember more recent things and things that we’ve experienced with greater frequency[2], so repeating associations and mnemonics to yourself is a good idea. Start practicing every day, and you can gradually decrease the frequency until you remember it naturally.
- Flash cards are especially useful for studying. It’s essentially a card with a question on one side and the answer on the other. (You can also put two things you want to associate on opposite sides of a flashcard.) In the course of learning a topic, you would have a stack of cards and would go through them testing yourself. Those that you got right you would put to one side and review a few days later. The more difficult ones might take several days to fix in the brain. However, how do you determine the ideal time to review the cards that you have temporarily remembered? Leave it too long and, like all memories, it may have faded and we forget the answer. If we review it too soon then we waste time looking at it. We need some system to know exactly when to review each card. This is where “Spaced Repetition Software” comes in. This software automatically works out the most efficient time to test you on each card for optimum memory retention. There are a number of free bits of software out there for you to use.
- Cramming only works to put information in your short-term memory. You may remember the information for your exam the next day, but you will barely recall the unit when it’s time to take the final. Spacing out your studying is important because it gives your brain time to encode the information and store it in your long-term memory.
