How to store information read in a book

I am sure you are faced with a situation where you have to remember some information from a book, but it does not work. After reading this material, you will learn how to do it.

If you are reading Layfhaker, you probably like to read books. But have you noticed that most of the information from the books goes to nowhere? For example, if I did not do a lot of notes from the recently read the book "18 minutes"I would hardly remember even half of useful information. I would like to book brings not only fun, but also be useful in the long run. Think about it, I decided to find some method that will help you easily remember the information from the books they read. And I found it.

This technique consists of three steps:

1. Impressions
2. Association
3. Reiteration

Even one such component is enough to remember the information. But plexus three together - it's one hundred percent way to remember anything. Let's go through each.

Impressions

When you are in a good sense, struck by something (an idea, image, music, text), the chance that you will remember the information much more. For example, you read the biography of Steve Jobs and you're incredibly impressed by some facts of his life. Be sure you will remember it for a long time. The peculiarity of this method is that you can increase the effect of experience in reading time.

Stop reading for a moment and imagine a situation where the facts appear in the life of Steve Jobs. Add to them deliberately exaggerated features: bright colors, unusual qualities, emotions. You can even add themselves and to play a role in the biography of Jobs. This will make the experience more and delay information in your head.

Association

If you can tie something from the book that you already know, the chance of remembering to grow significantly. For example, if Steve Jobs was born on the same day as you, then you will easily remember his date of birth, associating it with his birthday. This is similar to tying something to a tree. Tree - it is a fact of your life. The more you know, the more associations will be able to do.

Reiteration

After reading the book once, you remember a small amount of information. After reading it 10 times, you will remember much more. This applies to everything: recipes, song lyrics, directions, phone numbers and so on. The more you repeat something, the more memorable. But not all the books I want to read 10 times, right? In this case, you can highlight key moments and read them several times. So you can easily remember them.

Creating a mental picture of events, associating it with some well-known fact, and you repeated several times, you will be able to remember anything. How do you remember the information?
