Break information into smaller parts. This makes it easier for your brain to understand and remember. For example, instead of memorizing a long phone number all at once, divide it into smaller sections.

Picture something in your mind to help remember the information. The more creative or silly the image, the better. For example, to remember the word “elephant,” imagine a big elephant wearing a hat and playing a trumpet.

Link new information to something you already know. This could be a personal memory, a song, or something from history. The stronger the connection, the easier it is to remember.

Use short phrases, acronyms, or rhymes to help remember things. For example, the phrase “ROY G. BIV” helps you recall the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).

Test yourself on what you’re trying to learn. You can quiz yourself with flashcards, write practice tests, or teach someone else. The more you recall, the stronger your memory gets.

Review information at different times to help your brain store it better. There are apps that can help with this by reminding you to review at the right times.

Make sure you get enough sleep! Sleep helps your brain strengthen the memories you’ve made during the day.
