- Immediate recall: test yourself within minutes of learning.
Expected outcomes (8 weeks)
- Faster learning and longer retention of factual material
- Improved recall of names and daily tasks
- Better exam/work performance with less study time
- Stronger memory habits that persist
Tools & resources
- Spaced-repetition apps (Anki, Memrise)
- Note-taking templates for elaborative encoding
- Guided audio for building memory palaces
- Habit trackers for review schedules
Starting checklist
- Set a realistic goal (e.g., remember 50 names in 8 weeks)
- Schedule 20–30 minutes daily for deliberate practice
- Choose one SRS app and learn basic card creation
- Identify 2–3 occasions to apply techniques this week
