Ask HN: How to improve memory?

1 pointsseymores14y ago2 comments

Hi,

I have bad memory -- always has been. I tried some of the memory tricks, it works briefly for, felt it was too much work to try to learn all the memory systems out there.

So, what good advice can you give me and what works for you if you happen to overcome your memory problems.

It depends on what you're trying to remember...

I'd say for most things Spaced Repetition works pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition

Practice remembering things for 10,000 hours. Then you'll be an expert. ;)
