No doubt, we all have a good memory. What makes the difference is the effective use of this marvelous piece of equipment. I will share some tip for effective memory and if you follow them sincerely, I can assure you substantial improvement within few days.

Tip 1: Interval

A lengthy learning session does not enhance memory. A break is needed after every 50 minutes of working session. On an average, the break could be of 7-12 minutes and during the break, one should have a complete rest.

Tip 2: Drink Water

Our body has more than 70 per cent water by weight. A regular glass of water keeps us more alert. Always keep a bottle of water on your study table.

Tip 3: Revision Plan

We all have the same twenty-four hours in a day. The same books, similar sources of guidance and similar circumstances to crack the competition we need to have an edge over other and that can be by optimizing the study time. Since our aim is not to study for longer hours but to study the maximum in a limited period of time, the most effective way is to revise the material (after first reading) within 24 hours, then after 7 days of the first revision. After the first reading, details remain stored for twenty-four hours. Then, the process of forgetting begins.

The second revision is needed within 7 days; the third revision is needed after one-and-a-half months; and the fourth revision could be after 6 months.

Tip 4: Senses

According to Dr. Bruno Frost, on an average we remember:

? 25% of what we read

? 35% of what we hear

? 50% of what we see

? 60% of what we say

? 75% of what we do

? 95% of what we read, hear, see, say and do.

To improve learning tries to use more of your senses.
