Every day, modern people are literally drowned in a sea of information. Social networks, electronic media, the busy lifestyle make everyone have difficulty processing and remembering what they have learned. How, then, do we remember more than anything we hear, see, or read?

There are two key ways we can control and improve the processes of memorization. We must pay special attention to how we insert information into our memory - encoding, and how we pull it out - retrieval.

It turns out that people who remember better purposefully convert the information they are trying to store into images and then store those images in their mentally constructed repository - putting visual memory and spatial navigation into action.

This is exactly the trick with which we can remember even the boring information with which we are overwhelmed in the office, for example. We must learn to change the painful data that enters our memory with something colorful, exciting and different. In this way we will be able to easily extract information from our mental repository.

How exactly does this happen? Try to animate an image so that it begins to move in your head. Try to think about how it can smell, how it feels - make the idea in your head as bright and unusual as possible. This will process the image. It will stand out and be remembered at the same time.

For example, remember a specific bright and preferably good memory from your childhood. Think of the smallest details. Now imagine that your boss assigns you an important task that you have to complete the next morning. Immediately imagine the leader in the center of your memory. There he will stand out of place and stand out. The discrepancy will seem strange to you on a subconscious level and in this way it will make you remember it. This is the trick - put current and badly remembered tasks among those that you can not forget. That way you will remember much better.

Keep in mind the following - thinking about one memory leads to the activation of others. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. If you are trying to get a specific memory, the flow can lead to competition among the different and eventually you will not remember anything. So choose the brightest and most important for you.
