Flashcards – The Secret to Memorization When Study Time is LimitedHow to use flashcards to memorize when you dont have time to studyDo you find your day too busy for proper studying?Do you find that memorizing a list of topics, definitions or concepts is not effective after a long day?Do you need more time to study?One simple solution will (help) solve all the above problemsFlashcardsPicture this: you’re preparing for an upcoming history quiz or biology exam. You have a list of 25 namesconceptsdefinitions, and you devote an hour to cramming as a form of memorization.Perhaps you remember 50% of the material the following dayThe problem with cramming as a form of memorization, is that you’re hitting your brain with too many new concepts in a very short time. If you don’t give your mind time to process, you will be less likely to rememberEnter the FlashcardsKeep it simple, cut a sheet of paper into 8 or 10 pieces, or purchase a pack of blank index cardsDO THIS EARLY Minimum 23 days before your quiz or examWrite the concept or vocabulary word on the front of the card, and the explanation on the back. Keep these cards with you at all times. Perhaps in a front pocket, handbag or backpackNow picture an average busy day:Morning routingTravel to schoolLearn take notesLunchMore learning and note takingTravel homeAfter school job or choresHomeworkTVBedtime routineThis is a pretty common day for most students. So full of primary duties and responsibilities, where do you have the time to study and memorize?Actually, I count at least a full hour, hidden between the tasksOn Your Way to SchoolAs a passenger traveling to school, whether public transportation or carpooling, if you are the passenger, keep 5 flashcards handy and study them over and over on your ride to schoolEven as a driver, you can study enroute. Only AFTER coming to a complete stop at a red light, take out ONE card, read the front and back and replace the card. As you continue driving, you can repeat the information to yourself over and over. Peek at a new card at each red light(DISCLAIMER: Distracted driving leads to accidents, please don’t look at cards unless you are at a FULL STOP, and even then, determine if you are capable of studying while driving)At SchoolAssuming you are seated well before the lesson starts. Pull out another flashcard and study its contents. Repeat this at the start of each class and maybe even on your lunch breakAfterSchool Job ChoresDo you have a minute break here and there? If so, pull out a flashcard and study its contents. As you work, keep repeating the contents in your mindWhile Watching TVDid you know that the average TV commercial break lasts 23 minutes? Multiply that by the 5 or so breaks in a onehour show, and that’s another 10 flashcards studiedAt the end of the day, you potentially reviewed 25 – 50 cards, without actually taking the time to studyDo this for 23 days, reviewing the same set of flashcards. You are likely to forget the contents initially, but by the third day you should know the material pretty wellFlashcards alone are not enough. Do take the time to officially sit down and study your notes and the entire list of terms. After reviewing your flashcards for the past 2 days, you will find that not only is it easier to study and memorize, but that your retention rate is higher and faster.The trick to long term memorization is to consume a small amount of information slowly over time. Flashcards, studied throughout a busy workschool day allow you to absorb one bit of information at a time, and commit it to memory before bombarding your mind with another concept or topic.....
