Steps

• Sit in a quiet room with good lighting.
  
• Look for patterns, familiar elements, and other ways to break the material into groups of three to four familiar elements (if possible) and annotate these observations as you go. Do not force any patterns and stop looking before substantial effort is required for this step. Forced familiarity is compulsory learning; see the tips section below.
  
• Investigate and note intuitive relationships between the elements and your own experience. The relationships need not be rational, only memorable (interesting, funny, enjoyable) and inspirational.
  
• Read the first object.
  
• Say it without the paper.
  
• Read the first and second object.
  
• Repeat them out loud until you are able to say them without the paper.
  
• Read the first, second, and third objects.
  
• Say them out loud until you are able to say them without the paper.
  
• Repeat this process until you can say all the objects without the paper.
  
• Once you are at end of the list, repeat the list without reading it. Say it aloud three times.
  If you cannot do it all three times, start all over.
  
• After you think you have memorized it all, take a 10-20 minute break and do something that you will enjoy for that 20 minutes. This could be taking a walk, watching TV, talking on the phone, etc.
  
• Come back and test yourself again through the whole thing if you get it all right, you probably have it. If not work on the sections you are having trouble with. Take another 10-20 minute break and come back again.
  
• If you are still having trouble, try creating a mnemonic device.
  
  

Tips

• First of all don't get stressed, getting stressed just makes it harder
  
• Work in sections and create goals for yourself. Memorize one section, then reward yourself and keep going.
  
• Say stuff out loud. It sounds ridiculous, but saying stuff out loud helps your brain process it, so that it is easier to memorize.
  
• This is best done BEFORE sleeping. It will most probably be fresher when you wake up.
  
• Patience, patience, patience.
  
• If you're trying to memorize something short, write it out on a note card and put the note card in a place you see often. Whenever you see it, try to say it, or at least read it.
  
• Sometimes it works if you type them or write them down while saying them.
  
• If you have a lot of things you need to memorize, write them out on flash cards, and go through them often (or like me, you can also use the website http://www.wannano.org). If you get one wrong, review it, and once you get it right, put it back in the middle of the pile. If you get one right the first time, put it in the back of the pile.
  
• You may want someone to help you memorize. They can participate by quizzing you, asking you questions, or having you recite the information for them.
  
• Work in a quiet place where you can concentrate easily with no distractions.
  
• If you have problems with motivation it can work for you if you give yourself a treat every time you achieve a goal. Have raisins or a biscuit for example after each memorized paragraph.
  
• Try not to sit in the same room to memorize the two things. Your brain tries to subconsciously relate what you're memorizing to things around you. When you have to know it, chances are that these objects will not be around you.
  
• Use Quizlet, the most useful memorization tool on the Internet.
  
  Warnings
  
• Use the bathroom before studying. When you need the toilet in the middle of studying, it's most inconvenient!
  
• Don't eat while you work. It will distract you, no matter how much protein that apple has. Most people will only pay attention to one thing; either the studying, or the food. If you pay attention to the food, you won't get your work done. If you pay attention to the studying, you will get your work done.
  
• Take short, frequent breaks. It is best to exercise during these breaks, not watch 10 minutes of TV. Exercising will stimulate your brain, and you will work better when you return, just be careful not to overdo it.
