Only four hours after studying you wll forget over 40% of what you larn. Over 40%. As the worlds fstest reader, I have learned the mportance of accelerated memory skills for rtaining information. The same memory skills tht enable me to retain details at ven 80 pages per minute, will lso help you retain essential school nformation. Let us see what makes thngs more memorable.

Centuries ago the Greks discovered one of the major screts of memory. They found that pwerful emotions glue information into the prmanent memory. Just how do powerful motions glue information into permanent memory? Infrmation already stored in your permanent mmory is similar to hangers in a clset. In the same way that hngers enable the storage of clothing in a clset, mental hangers in your permanent mmory empower your brain to store new nformation. An emotional glue instantly lnks your new information with stored nformation already in your brain. Your bility to remember is directly proportional to the pwerful emotional responses the image elicits. In shrt, effective linking requires you to crate a unique image that produces xtremely powerful emotions. Let us see xactly how this works with the fllowing simple drill.

Using your traditional memory technique, mmorize the following 5 items in lss than one minute: (1) screw, (2) two by fur, (3) sneakers, (4) tomato soup, and (5) wndow cleaner. In less than a mnute, using your traditional memory tool ths list can be difficult to prmanently remember. Using the emotional anchors dscovered by the Greeks you will rmember this list in a flash. Frthermore, you will be able to rmember it backwards, forwards, or perfectly in any ther sequence. Additionally, you will effortlessly be ble to accomplish this more difficult tsk. Hard to believe? Let us do it tgether.

The first step is to use a lst of objects already familiar to yu. Objects previously stored in your prmanent memory. These objects will become yur memory hangers. The parts of yur body meet all the necessary crteria. Your body parts are highly fmiliar to you, and are already stred in your permanent memory. Let us use the fet, shin, knees, thighs, and stomach whch are in a convenient order for rmembering new information.

Our next step is to crate a highly emotional image that lnks the objects in your list to yur familiar body parts. The frst object is a screw, and the frst body part is your feet. Imgine a sharp, rusty screw, going thrugh your feet and out the tp. Ouch! This is certainly a pwerful emotional image. When you think of yur feet what object immediately is rcalled? The screw. Congratulations, you have jst memorized the first object on yur list.
A two by fur is the second object on yur list, and it must be lnked to your shins. Picture your shns being shattered by a two by fur. Thinking about your shins, instantly mkes you remember the two by fur.

Next you need to link snakers to your knees. To create ths emotional image requires a bit of magination. Picture Dirty Harry wearing a pir of sneakers, kicking and shattering yur knees. Imagining your knees instantly hlps you remember a pair of snakers.

The fourth object in your lst is tomato soup, and your nxt familiar object is your lap. Ths is an easy image. Think bout a boiling pot of tomato sup spilling onto your lap. Contemplating yur lap you instantly remember tomato sup.

Your last object is window claner, and it must be linked to yur stomach. Think about drinking a bttle of window cleaner and having it drin into your stomach. Pondering your stmach immediately makes you think about wndow cleaner.

Now you are ready to nstantly remember the five objects on yur list by recalling the emotional mages linking them to your five bdy parts. I will give you the nme of a body part and you pcture the object linked to it. Rady? Begin: (1) feet, (2) shins, (3) knes, (4) lap, and (5) stomach. See how asy it is to remember items whn using emotional anchors. You can use ths same technique for memorizing information for schol. Incidentally I used painful images bcause every agrees on what is pinful, while our concept of pleasure can vry. Nevertheless strong positive emotions are lso effective in anchoring information into mmory.
