Ask HN: How to Memorise?

1 pointsby s3archabout 6 years ago
Do you have some tips, books suggestion, blogs to increase/develop memorizing skill? I find hard in retaining information that I read, study or learn. Are there any techniques to actively improve our memory so that I can retain more information about what I studied?

Anki[1] can work well with some things. For example, I used it after reading through a book on SSH and another book on Sudo to drill configuration options that it highlighted into my head. My retention has been fantastic, and I can easily configure both these days.<p>My process for doing that was to read through each book on Kindle, highlighting as I go. I then go to my Kindle notes[2] and convert them into an Anki deck for each book. Then it&#x27;s a matter of going through the deck whenever you have idle time: waiting in lines, TV commercials, bio breaks, etc.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.ankiweb.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.ankiweb.net&#x2F;</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;read.amazon.com&#x2F;kp&#x2F;notebook" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;read.amazon.com&#x2F;kp&#x2F;notebook</a>

Use Anki. Anki is a free and open-source spaced repetition flashcard program that uses SM2 algorithm.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Anki_(software)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Anki_(software)</a>
