Through creative imagery, storytelling, and frameworks to map out things you wish to memorize, you can learn how to log complex, multi-pronged reliable memory.

Most people want to learn better and faster, retain more information, and be able to apply that knowledge at the right time. But the reality is that we forget a lot of what we learn. In fact, research shows that within just one hour, if nothing is done with new information, most people will have forgotten about 50% of what they learned. After 24 hours, this amount increases to 70%, and if a week passes without that information being used, up to 90% of it could be lost. To improve knowledge acquisition and retention, new information must be consolidated and securely stored in long-term memory. Here are just a few ways that your relationship to your memory can be improved: Use the power of your imagination to remember systematicallyCreate mental "file cards" for storing informationLearn dates and times, names and faces, foreign languages, directions, presentations, shopping lists, and moreBecome a winner at bridge and other card gamesUnderstand how your memory changes over timeMake yourself more memorable in social situations Get ready to increase your memory beyond your wildest dreams.
