Remembering What You Read |
 |
|
Have you ever read something but don't know when, or
if, you will ever need to actually use it? And if
questioned a few weeks later about the subject, is
your memory vague, at best? There are two factors
at play: 1 - When you are reading, you don't usually
know WHEN you'll need the information again and 2 -
You probably don't use any intentional, conscious,
or active strategies to keep your memory fresh.
So what can you do to engage your memory for
longer than a day? Here are some of the easiest
things you can do to boost your memory:
- Ask yourself, "Why am I reading this?"
and "What do I need it for?" If you know the
specific answers these questions, you will read
more intently keeping you more focused on what
you need. If you don't come up with solid enough
answers to these questions, then you have no
business reading it in the first place.
- Intend to remember. Engage your brain
by telling it you want to remember what you are
reading. Think about how you might use the
material and create ways you can remember, like
writing keeper notes, highlighting effectively,
summarizing aloud, and so on.
- Stop trying to memorize - Use
repetition-over-time instead. Memorizing, or
study reading - which typically means reading
word-for-word - is a much slower reading rate
than just reading for general information. Your
working memory is limited to a few days so if
you need to remember something, build in ways to
review, discuss, or be exposed to the topic
again on a regular basis.
- Have a good system for finding it, later.
Instead of worrying about trying to remember
something you don't know when or if you will
need again, it is a better use of your time and
memory power to create a good system for
locating the material when you need it.
- Make notes for future reference.
Effectively highlight or write notes in the
margins of your reading before filing it away so
when you go back to it, you can avoid re-reading
it in its entirety and you will easily find
what's important.
Wishing you a stronger reading memory!
