What if I told you that your brain can remember more than you ever imaginedโ€”with the right tricks?

I recently explored the book "๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป" by Jaya Simha. It shares powerful yet simple memory techniques that anyone can use. Here are some of my favorite tips from the book:

โœ… ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฑ โ€“ Connect new information with something you already know.
โœ… ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฑ โ€“ Link items by creating a funny or creative story.
โœ… ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฑ (๐— ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ) โ€“ Place information in different rooms of your home in your imagination.
โœ… ๐— ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜€ & ๐—”๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜†๐—บ๐˜€ โ€“ Use short forms or catchy phrases to recall details.
โœ… ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป โ€“ Picture the idea in your mind like a movie scene.
โœ… ๐—ฅ๐—ต๐˜†๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ โ€“ Turn facts into rhymes to make them stick.
โœ… ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ข๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ โ€“ Share what you learned; it helps you remember better.
โœ… ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต๐˜† ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€ โ€“ Good food, sleep, and focus improve your memory naturally.

These methods show us that memory is not about working harder, but about working smarter.

Which memory technique do you use the mostโ€”and does it really help you remember better?
