"Repetition is the mother of learning." A thought that has haunted us since school. And there is a grain of rationality in it. Repetition strengthens neural connections and forms new ones with the same information, reinforcing new images.
However, in addition to repetition, other techniques also help to assimilate knowledge - portioning and combination of information, for example.
By breaking the “big chunk” into smaller chunks and tying them together, you maximize your learning outcomes. But there is a problem: your brain is limited and cannot remember more than 7 "pieces" at once.
To make it clearer, suppose you need to memorize random numbers: 1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 0, 2, 4, 8, 3. 10 numbers. With all your desire, you will not remember more than 7. It is necessary to break the "big piece" into "small" ones and tie them together.
10 incoherent numbers can be turned into five blocks: 13, 52, 60, 24, 83. In this form, it is easier to remember them, and accordingly, remember them if necessary.
Repetition, though the mother of learning, is nothing without "rehearsals". Remembering in one day, saying the information several times under your breath, will not work.
If you have learned something vital, rehearse the repetition daily for 7 days so that the information is stored in long-term memory. Remember knowledge 3 times a day, and your smartphone will help you with this.
Set reminders or post notes around the perimeter of the house. This is the only way you will not forget what you wanted to remember.
Use all of these techniques in pursuit of self-education. Absorb relevant knowledge, repeat, remind, recall. Get better and smarter.
