Article Summary
Long term memory is the brain's system for storing information over extended periods — distinct from short-term or working memory. This article covers 11 science-backed methods to strengthen it, including spaced repetition, visualization, sleep, and mindset shifts. You will gain practical strategies to retain more of what you learn.
Whenever I tell people that I teach a course on memory, the response is always the same. “Oh my gosh, I need that. I have the worst memory!” My response, after years of hearing this, is also the same. “No, you don’t. You just don’t know how to use it.”
Though studies have shown that it’s nearly impossible to improve your working memory, it is very much possible to improve your long-term memory. (You can also improve your short-term memory, but that’s the topic of another blog post. Fortunately, many of the same principles apply).
In this post, I’m going to share how you can improve your long-term memory, no matter what type of learning task you are working on. Let’s dive in.
