How to Memorize a Textbook: A 10 Step Memory Palace Tutorial

Показать описание

Want to know how to memorize a textbook?

Remembering more from books is a fun and easy skill to develop.

But, as with all things, a lot depends on your mindset, your setup and the clarity of your goals.

That’s why, in this video, you’ll learn how to:

• Correctly set your expectations of what the book will contain
• Understand why you need to read the book (or if you actually need to!)
• Quickly determine how much of the book you really need to read
• Make a dedicated Memory Palace system to memorize the parts you really need
• Learn how to take notes from a textbook onto index cards or flashcards, and
• Determine how much time you’ll need to practice the information you’ve memorized

You'll learn how to memorize verbatim too.

Plus, I'm giving you an example of how to memorize a formula, the kind you might come across in a math textbook.

Ultimately, what we're talking about when discussing textbook memorization is how to study books for maximum retention.

And retention is not necessarily memorization. It's important to understand that difference.

And the Memory Palace technique you'll discover in this video is designed to make sure that you know how to get the most out of your study time.

If you would like a simple and fun infographic to go with this post, it is downloadable and printable. I even have a pic of Magnetic Memory Method Familia Member Adolfo Artigas with his printout for you:

Please make sure you print it out and put it somewhere you can see it. That way, you'll remember this memory technique and won't forget to put it into action.

By the way, this video is an update of a previous How to Memorize Textbooks video that you might like for backup:

Now, you might be wondering...

Wait a minute! I have TONS of books I want to remember better.

No problem.

All thanks to you. I've memorize a whole chapter of my biology book in under a week. You, my friend, are an absolute legend 😇😇😇

Hey Dr. Metivier - just wanted to shout out a word of thanks for all you do. I bought your MM course to help me with grad school and I just wanted you to know that for the PhD in my music dept they require graduate level reading translation of TWO languages, but you can take the test several times if you need to - no grade no penalty no transcript. The first French exam I had to take it 4 times over a year before I barely passed. Then I bought Magnetic memory and then for my Italian exam I passed 2nd time in 6 mos! Now on to my whoa! Thanks a GIGUNDUS million!

Thank you. This was so useful. Maybe I've already known them through your previous videos or by experiencing them myself but listening to them again makes me utilize the techniques better and more complete. I also took a lot of notes :)

Thanks, as someone said in this comment section before, when I first encountered a video of yours, I thought that it was something kinda baseless, but something made me watch all the video, and thank God I did because your way of thinking and going on about things is brilliant and I really admire you, thanks.

I am enrolled in the Magnetic Memory course. It is so exciting to learn. You are a great teacher.

2:48 the fact that you’re giving this information out for free is an absolute blessing! Thank you in advance. I’m about to start Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power, then Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe.
