How to memorize your textbook

Interested in mind mapping? Then these videos might be for you:

Are you serious about academic success? If so, you should get a lot out of these videos:

Up to your neck in flashcards and Anki but not getting the results everyone says you should be getting? Here is an apparently ‘controversial’ but super valuable (and PROPERLY evidence-based) take on Active Recall and Spaced Repetition (rather than the pseudo-evidence most ‘gurus’ regurgitate):

Bro said after 1 month, I forget what I read after I turn to next page😂😂

Bro has such a good memory that he forgot to answer the question.

Ok so this is just my research online : ways to memorize /learn better.

A) If it's a subject you find difficult. Just befriend it first.
Make humorous remarks if you can't remember.
Make it into a song
Use acronym or random idea to help you remember.

B) If big books /portion scare you.
Read in parts. Break it.
read 80 to 100% but
by heart it 60-70% perfectly as much as possible.

C) Take one 5-10 mins break where you're creative or meditate to improve focus. (do not use any mobile, tv, laptop, tablet or videogames it will ruin your memory at this time.)
playing with a offline toy, rubics cube, portable chess board, cards solitaire, solo catch catch, dart throw, singing, drawing, colouring, playing an instrument dancing, cooking etc.
Whatever Relaxes you.
It will increase and exercise your muscles and memory.


1) Skim quickly, underline nouns /numerical info.
2) re-read properly word by word.
3) Byheart it by reading loudly or writing or roaming around. With or without music whatever suits you.
4) Make small key notes notebook, for quick and easy to remember acess.
5) revise. Schedule a practical timetable to revise from time to time.
6) Don't be shy to ask for help from others or to help others to clear eachothers doubts.

7) Read spiritual learnings just 3 sentences to stay strong willed and grounded. If you feed the wrong idea others give you, you'll end up in a really dark space.

8) Don't compare it's a slow poison. See if your level is growing or not. Let people complain let others enjoy. Your progress is not their responsibility it's yours. Accept yourself and it becomes easy to improve further. Dream to be happily independent 1st then something more later. Not everyone is going to be a billionaire realistically.

9) Perfection is an idea not many will achieve so accept it and become the best version of yourself you'll be proud of . Perfectly imperfect people have created history you can create your version. We all fall before we learn to walk if you didn't make it today you'll make it in few more attempts exactly how you learnt to walk. Stay strong you're not responsible for everyone's happiness around you.

10)*When you feel overwhelmed :
Find a quiet place to meditate or pray or go to garden or mountain, you'll regain your strength. Go running or gym until you're out of strength if you're unable to stop thinking. Take care of strays or have a pet if possible. You're not weak it's just your time is yet to come.

11) Despite hardwork Everyone's race is different even if it looks same. For some their time to shine was in teens, for some it was 30s or 40s even.
So focus on your grounding, good people, overall growth and learnings. Baki bhagwan pe chodd do.

Remember marks do not define you. Others bullying and taunting do not define you.
Real life experience is the real deal you'll actually learn there. Change your place if it's not working for you. Go to library or other place which helps you focus, relocate if you have toxic environment. Develop soft skills alongside. Try and find what works for you. Be sincere. All the best 👍🌻

Bro surely remembered the page which told how to dodge a question.😂

[altheadivina]

I'm so glad I've come across this video while scrolling. I've always had a hard time focusing, I was supposed to do an advance study to prepare for the upcoming school year but my mind keeps wandering, as much as I try to study my hand unconsciously reaches for my phone and then I'd end up scrolling through social media after that I often feel terrible about myself because a day passes by with me just wasting it on the internet. This video really help me ease my emotions and boosts my confidence. I'll try to maintain my focus now. Hopefully, if I get just 1 like I'll change myself for the better. Hope you make another video like this


P.S. In my whole human existence this is my first time commenting on a video, hopefully, I get notice. It would really mean so much to me. Love from the Philippines ♥️♥️

I still can't process what was he trying to convey

[ishukhatri]

Solution is : Spaced repetitive retrieval .

[zyxbody]

It really varies why you can't retain. Normally everyone needs revision of things they want to learn and memorize. Good retention is also a product of postive living environment or genetics but it can also fade easily with time if mind gets affected by toxic turn of environment . So, keep good company, stay positive and revise.

Very helpful a shorts, he just answers the question straight, damn that exams, thank you.

[BontleHlongwane]

He answered the question with the question

[achi]

I've do research about this, and want to write down the research into a book, but still a plan.
Here is what I got.
The reason why forget after read some books :
1. The interesting parts usually will last longer to remember.
2. Your desire decided it to be write down longer or shorter.
3. If you have lost interesting what you had remember, with automatic move in the brain and the bad habits that If the brain don't like it anymore it will get removed by brain.
4. The important things are your desire, willing, to keep it.
5. The right methods to remember is also a important parts, usually when unclear information get absorbed by brain the information will hard to wrtie down in the brain, even though it's have already remember it will forget easily.
That's, There's still a lot of it actually.
And also the knowledges how to control brain movement is not common to be discuss in public, and that's why if this keep continue the ability of human brain willget decreased.
Sorryy for bad English, I know it.
The wrong lessons will lead to the wrong of thinking of human brain.
The wrong views will lead someone to be blind by faith.
The wrong actions will lead someone to undesirable results.

His hairstyle makes a lot of difference. Before he used to look like a nerdy student who was enthusiastic about learning science.(also happened to be a doctor to make his parents proud)

And now he looks like he knows what he's doing and is an expert and more mature.

[krishnapriya]

You say 1 month. I'm gonna forget this short in the very second I scroll to the next 😂😂

[potatodude]

my personal method is pretty straight-forward and is serving me wonders here the day before my national exam tomorrow:

read the chapter or the unit, then answer the end of unit/chapter questions, mark down what you couldn't answer on a piece of paper or little notebook you have, then go over the chapter/unit once more whilst focusing on what you couldn't answer at the end of the chapter.

mind you: the first read shouldn't exceed more than 10 or so minutes, and the second should take half the time to go through; granted: that is if you have a very basic grasp of the chapter.

[dhanush]

Really greatfull for last line the process the use today😊😊😊😊😊😊❤

[edgar]

I was waiting for him to elaborate thst process

[elmahyrakanayori]

Neuron only respon better to the wave which is have the same length frequencies based on curiousity the braind send as a signal to catch it. It mean if someone has specifict pasion/desire/will to get some information the brain vibrating signal to be focus with that specifict thing the want to tink and safe it more longer.

[Tomevone]

So the process is how much subscription fee?

You answered without really answering?
