We forget so fast !

In the next post, I will explain why we forget so fast.

In this one, here is a diagram that shows you how fast we forget.

After one day, we forgot over 70% of what we heard, did, or saw.

After a week, almost 80 %.

There are exceptions if something very emotional happens

or is essential to you.

But still, a lot of details might be lost.

If you want to remember something specific, 

here is an easy tactic to significantly increase your memory.

 

The most powerful tactic is to take a few minutes 

every day for a week, then one week later, one month later, 

three months, six months, and a year later 

to revise what you wish to remember.

(You can easily set reminders to do so in your smartphone calendar).

Taking those few minutes will help you remember

80% of what you learn instead of forgetting 80%.
