Ask HN: How to Memorise?
Do you have some tips, books suggestion, blogs to increase/develop memorizing skill? I find hard in retaining information that I read, study or learn. Are there any techniques to actively improve our memory so that I can retain more information about what I studied?

- teeray 7y agoAnki[1] can work well with some things. For example, I used it after reading through a book on SSH and another book on Sudo to drill configuration options that it highlighted into my head. My retention has been fantastic, and I can easily configure both these days. My process for doing that was to read through each book on Kindle, highlighting as I go. I then go to my Kindle notes[2] and convert them into an Anki deck for each book. Then it's a matter of going through the deck whenever you have idle time: waiting in lines, TV commercials, bio breaks, etc. [1] https://apps.ankiweb.net/ https://apps.ankiweb.net/ [2] https://read.amazon.com/kp/notebook https://read.amazon.com/kp/notebook
