Damn, I just wish I could remember everything I read...

That's probably something a lot of students wish for. I know I have (a lot💀). Because being able to read everything you read or study would be so overpowered. Acing tests, no long hours of revising the same information.

And while remembering everything you read first try probably won't happen, there are some things you can do to make information nearly IMPOSSIBLE to forget.

A simple tip I have for you is this: Why do you think I'll never forget what active recall, the spacing effect, and Parkinson's law are?

It's because I've TAUGHT them many many many times, through my YouTube videos and weekly calls of course.

"Students who spend time teaching what they've learned go on to show better understanding and knowledge retention than students who simply spend the same time re-studying"

This is basically the Feynmann technique, and it really works. Active recall, the spacing effect, etc could easily have been the stages of Meiosis, or the multiplier effect in economics.

The point is, TEACH what you want to remember. If you're shy, just get a word document and imagine you're teaching a class, and write out a script of how you would explain and teach it.

Harder than you think, but very very good for memory. It will make it so you remember everything you read and study.
