    Me too.

    That means we understand the material we learn, not memorize and repeat like parrots.

    Memorizing something exactly the way it is without understanding it is hardest and easiest to forget.

    The best method is to simply sit down and learn

    Intense memorizing makes harder to recall memories for the simple fact that they were intensly rooted. The more intense the memory is, deeper it will be rooted, and more dificult will be to recall, but also to forget. That's why it will easier for you to recal something you've memorized a few moments ago (for ex.: a number) but then you probably lose that memory moments later, than something in your life far more important.
    Or something like that I've read.
    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

    A lot depends on what I am learning. If it's something akin to rote memorization or getting a portion of music under my fingers on the guitar (both surprisingly similar), I work with the text (or, in the case of music, with a metronome) until I not only stop making progress, but I actually start doing worse. Then I sleep. Sleep emphasizes rote learning (at least for me).

    If it's a skill, there is no greater learning than doing, even if doing it poorly. If it is a concept, I meditate on it while I linger between awakedness and sleep. The point between awakedness and sleep is sort of my "magic area" for creative thought.

    There is obvious difference between memorizing and learning. As learning requires 1) deep understanding of the internals and 2) positioning that understanding within a larger hence more comprehensive picture – no memorizing techniques will be of use here.

    If you want to master a certain area, you need to develop and then refine your own modus operandi.

    Desire to understand a subject has always been the driver to learn. Often the drive to learn would get me nowhere until I reject mainstream teachings.

    I wish I did. I have a big test tomorrow and the information comes in through one ear and comes out the other. It makes sense, but my brain shuts it out since it seems irrelevant to it.

    Practical Application performed there and then helps learning.
    Also, repetitive pacing up and down helps in rote memorization.
    Finding a pattern in things to learn helps them be remembered in a form of a key to the pattern.
