How can I remember things more easily?

Question

Is there a way that I can train my brain to retain more information in a smaller amount of time? For example, I need to remember all the polyatomic ions and I've been studying them for about 4 hours for about a week now and I've only remembered about half of them >.<

Answer 1

try coding them with things around you or memorize them like you would remember a phone number. x*x-xxxx (meaning groups of 7) or to your favorite song like the alaphabet song.

Answer 2

like a rolling stone

wont listen to anything less than 10 years old now

Answer 3

Eat cod liver oil daily. It really works, your memory and concentration skills will somehow improve tremendously after about a month.

Answer 4

next time you need to remember something just associate them / it with something you will never forget they don&#039;t have to have anything to do with each other like if i want to remember to go buy a cd at 9:00am i will associate it in some way with my alarm clock when i wake up so when i see it i remember it. Hope this helps
