Try to understand the information first.

Link it. Connect the information you are trying to memorize to something that you already know.

Sleep on it. Studies show that your brain processes and stores information while you sleep.

Self-test. Quiz yourself every so often by actively recalling the information you are trying to study.

Use distributed practice. For a concept to move from your temporary working memory to your long-term memory

Talk to yourself. It may seem strange at first, but talking to yourself about the material you are trying to memorize can be an effective memory tool to speak to yourself.

Practice interleaving. Interleaving is the idea of mixing or alternating skills or concepts that you want to memorize
