You may be wondering what happened to the chemical. What happened to that that was going to allow you to better remember the information in your brain.

There's Something Missing

Add emotion to what you learn. And no, I don't mean to encourage what you are studying. I mean looking for the information you learn to be more emotional. Science has shown that it is easier to remember information this way [2].

The Key

Maybe you finished uni two years from now. In that time, you have not been able to improve your salary because they ask you for specializations, master's degrees or doctorates. And you probably don't have enough time or money to start taking them. Let's see how you can learn better to improve your salary according to science →

Probability

Before I used to learn new information in the following way: I got up early, took a shower with cold water to have energy, had breakfast and then I had a coffee to start studying. I felt awake, but after a couple of days the information I had learned was no longer on my mind. Why?

How We Are Used to Learn

If you want to learn skills that improve your salary But you don't usually remember the information you're learning These are 3 tools that, according to science, will improve your salary by learning new things

What Do you Want?

Anyone would say that I was not studying properly. That I was not studying with active recall or spaced repetition, which are the most effective techniques for learning according to science [1]. And no, that was exactly what I was doing. (By the way, active recall and spaced repetition refer to asking ourselves what we learn and doing it spaced out in time).

The Apparent Mistake

Because I didn't space the information out enough.Because I didn't know that chemicals in the brain influence learning. Let's see two things: How many times you must repeat the information you study to remember it forever.What is the chemical that will help you remember the information you learn and how to get it.

Two Reasons

How to make the information you learn more emotional? The easiest way is to relate it (hypothetically) to your daily life. For example, if you are learning how to create a web page, think about how you would explain that to your partner if you wanted them to understand.

How to Make the Information You Learn More Emotional?

In the post we talked a bit about asking ourselves what we study and doing it spaced out over time. The problem is that you probably don't have the time to ask yourself the information that you learn very often. What to do in those cases? Is it worth playing the victim and saying you can't improve because you don't have enough time? Not really. Especially since there are always better strategies. And one of those strategies has to do precisely with a chemical substance that has a very particular result:

The Chemical that Will Help you Remember Information Easier 👇🏻.

That substance is adrenaline, and it can be achieved by exposure to cold or by consuming caffeine*. But the key is to do it right after learning [3]. Tell me in the comments if you prefer to take a shower with cold water or drink coffee. I read you *this is informative and not medical, for more information consult a professional.

It Decreases the Number of Repetitions Needed to Remember the Information you Learn.



So, if I was studying in the most appropriate way according to science, Why was I forgetting the information? Why did you have to start from scratch every time?
