Memorise two lines of a poem

Pick a short poem and learn its first two lines by heart.

Why it helps

Memorising trains attention and recall. A line you carry in your head is also available whenever you want it.

How to do it

1. Choose a poem or verse you like.
2. Read the first two lines aloud five times.
3. Look away and recite them, checking for mistakes.
