How do you remember things?
I am having trouble remembering some things that I need to resite, it's about 3 paragraphs long and I put it into an audio format and playing it over and over again so I can remember - and type it out as it's speaking, but for the life of me I can't keep it in memory!
I close my eyes and resite it outloud, but I fuckup even on the first sentence! 13 sentences in 3 paragraphs. I need to remember this shit for Thursday next week. Does anyone do Drama? or need to remember things like this, maybe for school or whatnot? What are your suggestions? What's a good way to put this shit in my head and make it stick word from word? Do you have your own methods? Share.

write it down
not once, just do it all the fucking time, write it down so much like you mad at it, just write it down over and over again I was in drama/plays and it especially helped when you had to do long shakespearean monologues with words that you don't use/remember every day.

Vasopressin!
http://club.telepolis.com/ohcop/vasopressin_glos.htm http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract http://nootropics.com/vasopressin/ Apparently it actually works, as someone I know tried a bit of it before watching some dumb movie. He was able to recall most/all of the movie vividly. But there's an interesting detail. He could not recall any of the sound! (On another note, vasopressin is one chemical mdma causes the brain to release. Try really hard to remember some times you were on it. You'll probably recall some things really clearly, but only one or two senses) Edit since this might read like a literal interpretation smartass reply and it's not. I don't know where/how you COULD get this or if it's legal/etc, but if you like chemicals it's a possibility. Last edited by Electroflux; Sep 21, 04 at 04:11 AM.

You could maybe be a visual/titactle learner (photographic/hands on)???
Im highly like that and usualy make pictures to go along with with what i try to remember. It doesnt have to be fancy... stick ppl and symbols work GREAT! Even just color coating/cuting things into pieces can help alot!

^ That works for me as well.... although I learn by reading, so repitition works best. Just keep reading and repeating it in your head. I STILL have all of my Glider Checklists stuck in my head from 1998. We made a song out of them too... Ballast Controls Instruments and Spoilerssss; Trim Release Straps and Can-o-pyyyyyy!

So far what i'm doing, is I printed out the sonnet, and I am writing it down two lines at a time, then remembering those two lines.
Then going to the next two lines when I can resite the two lines without looking at the paper, and so on. I am also paraphrasing and leaving out some words, but so far so good. When in disgrace with fortune in mens eyes, I beweep my outcast state And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries Then look at myself and curse my fate Wishing like one more rich in hope, featured like him, like him with friends posessed. Desiring this mans art, and that mans scope, with what I most enjoy contented least. So far so good, and learning all that in 30 minutes. :)

ahhhh...the joys of having a photographic memory. write it down, picture the words/ page in your head. i can do it with almost anything. but it can only be about 10 minutes before, and will only stick for about 1/2 hour.
heh. damn drugs stealing all our short term memories.....

Read it, give yourself the mental command to remember it.
Recall it; write it down. If you don't remember something, improvise as much as you can. Write the entire thing, filling in whatever holes you need to by improvising. Read the original again, compare it to yours, and read the original once again. Repeat the process. What that method does is gets your intuitive brain into the action. Humans are very good at intuition. This technique works well for me, anyhow. Your mileage may vary.

I'm currently in the process of memorizing three scenes for two of my acting classes, I have quite a bit of experience when it comes to memorizing scenes, monologues or full on plays.
If you're trying to memorize a monologue write it down, word for word and recite it as many times as you can. Memorize sections at a time and let one line lead into the next. Don't think about it just let it come naturally, let the line you're reciting trigger the next and really try to understand what you're saying. With plays or scenes I find writing them down doesn't really work, you really need to react on the other persons lines and listen to what they're saying.
