Recall what you learned yesterday

Before looking at any notes, list what you remember from yesterday.

Why it helps

Pulling information from memory strengthens it more than re-reading does. A few minutes of recall slows forgetting.

How to do it

1. Close all notes and books.
2. Write down everything you remember from yesterday's learning.
3. Check your notes and fix or add anything missed.
