The enemy of memory is forgetting. Improving memory actually means trying to avoid and overcome forgetting. As long as you carry out conscious exercise during learning activities and master the rules and methods of memory, you can improve and enhance your memory. Here are ten ways to enhance your memory.

1. Pay attention. When remembering, as long as you concentrate, concentrate, and eliminate distracting thoughts and external interference, the cerebral cortex will leave deep memory traces and make it difficult to forget. If you are distracted and multitasking, your memory efficiency will be greatly reduced.

2. Strong interest. If you are not interested in learning materials and knowledge objects, it will be difficult to remember them no matter how much time you spend.

3. Understand memory. Understanding is the basis of memory. Only what you understand can be remembered firmly and for a long time. It is not easy to remember just by rote memorization. For important learning content, if you can combine understanding and recitation, the memory effect will be better.

4. Over-learning. That is, on the basis of memorizing the learning materials, memorize them several times to achieve the level of memorizing and remembering them by heart. The optimal level of overlearning is 150%.

5. Review in time. The speed of forgetting is fast at first and then slows down. Strike while the iron is hot and review and consolidate the knowledge you have just learned in a timely manner is an effective means to strengthen memory traces and prevent forgetting. 6. Remember often. When studying, keep trying to recall, so that memory errors can be corrected, omissions can be made up, and difficult learning content can be remembered more firmly. In your spare time, you can also avoid forgetting by frequently recalling the objects you memorized in the past.

7. Combine reading, thinking, seeing and listening. The language function and the function of the visual and auditory organs can be used at the same time to strengthen memory and improve memory efficiency. Much better than silent reading alone.

8. Use a variety of memory methods. Depending on the situation, flexible use of classification memory, characteristic memory, homophonic memory, argumentative memory, associative memory, interesting memory, chart memory, shortened memory and compilation of outlines, note-taking, cards and other memory methods can enhance memory.

9. Master the best memory time. Generally speaking, the best memory times are 9 to 11 am, 3 to 4 pm, and 7 to 10 pm. It is better to use the above time to memorize difficult-to-remember learning materials.

10. Use your brain scientifically. On the basis of ensuring nutrition, active rest, and physical exercise to maintain the brain, scientific use of the brain, preventing excessive fatigue, and maintaining a positive and optimistic mood can greatly improve the work efficiency of the brain. This is the key to improving your memory.
