Ways
in How to Sharpen Short Term Memory
Self Improvement
This
is the last article on how to sharpen the short-term memory; therefore,
we are going to have a bit of fun. Let's go out with a bang!
Read
that sentence one more time and see if you can read between the lines?
What did you get from the sentence the second time your read it? Did
you see that the mind remembers well, information that leaves an
impression? Did you see that the memory could recall details of
impacting statements, events, and so forth? If you didn't see it, read
the sentence again.
Now
read the second paragraph. What do you get from the lines in between?
Did you recognize that you were repeating, which is a helpful tool in
sharpening the mind? Did you see that you sometimes need to paraphrase,
recite, and recall information to learn and sharpen the mind?
If
not read the last sentence again. Oh, so I am getting on your nerves
now, hey. Well, that is not my purpose. By the way, this makes me think
what your purpose is as you read this article. Do you have a purpose?
Did you know you need a purpose in all areas of life to function
properly? Did you know you need to make your purpose meaningful to
achieve your mission? If you didn't read this sentence again until it
starts to digest and hit the long-term memory.
Now
write me a checklist as you take quality notes. I want a list of
efforts you are willing to put into sharpening your short-term memory.
I want facts, purpose, goals, efforts, tools, and the like written down
in specifics. I am going to write my own checklist to show you how it
works.
First:
I
am inspired to sharpen my memory
My
purpose is to sharpen my memory by pulling resources together, using
tactics, and whatever it takes to reach my goal.
What
I learn will become meaningful to me, since if it has no meaning,
what's the purpose.
I
will put forth every effort it takes to sharpen my short-term mind,
while continuing to use the tools throughout the course of my lifetime
to keep my memory sharp.
The
tools I will use are my own inspiration, organizing of the mind,
coordination of the mind, as well as other tools. Other tools I will
use are repeating when I feel like the mind has not grasp the meaning.
I will use reciting to verify I understand what I learn. I will learn
to use visualization as a tool to help me clarify my comprehension of
what I learn. I will paraphrase when details are unclear to my mind. I
will review to make sure I clarify what I learn. I will preview before
probing into information, since I am aware it is a preparing of the
mind to digest new information.
I
will arrive at destinations early than scheduled if I am to appear at a
gathering where learning takes place. As I sit and listen I will
concentrate on the talker, and clarify information delivered by using
my paraphrasing, reciting, repeating and other tools. I will learn to
role-play scenes to help me grasp a deeper meaning, as well as learn to
reconstruct my mind (building mind) so to prepare, practice and help
the mind learn new patterns.
I
will learn associations and how they will help me to reconnect
memories. I will learn to realize that associations are triggers that
target a specific memory and will work toward accepting my memories as
they come along without dismissing them. I will learn to remove
trappers and interruptions, so that my mind is free to learn and
remember.
Do
you get it? If not read this information again.
