If you want to remember everything you learn, take 3 minutes to read this:
According to psychology professor Paul Reber, our brains have the ability to store up to the equivalent of three million hours of TV…
But most people don’t ever come close to that capacity.
So how do you maximize your memory?
Follow these steps…
You have 2 forms of memory:
1. Long term memory
It stores:
• Skills
• Important days
• Repeated information
2. Working memory
It stores small bits of information that can be used for cognitive tasks.
The more information to your long-term memory, the more valuable it becomes.
You can build things upon each other and make valuable connections.
But here’s the thing…
To store information in long-term memory, it has to go through working memory.
That's how your brain filters out info you don’t need for a long time like:
• Your plane’s flight number
From important info like:
• Your phone number
But there’s a big problem with our memory…
