These 3 Hacks Will Make You Remember More - https://betterhumans.coach.me[..]will-make-you-remember-more-b30a3d9b3136 When trying to memorise new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. Yet taking the occasional down time – to do literally nothing – may be exactly what you need.

You might feel like you’re being super productive and focused by sticking to your work, but you’re less likely to recall it later." - https://medium.com[..]-and-it-can-actually-be-fun-99a9c9b95d5b https://list25.com[..]proof-techniques-to-enhance-your-memory/ http://www.bbc.com[..]-make-you-smarter?ocid=global_future_rss Drawing something makes it easier to remember than writing it down - https://www.zmescience.com[..]drawing-better-than-writting-memory-0432 http://www.bbc.com[..]s-your-memory-is-stranger-than-you-think Frustrated at forgetting stuff? Some simple tricks could have dramatic positive effects. 1) Walk backwards 2) Do a drawing 3) Do some exercise, but get the timing right 4) Do nothing 5) Take a nap http://www.bbc.com[..]-ways-you-could-become-a-memory-champion
