How to Memorize Things Quickly. People like to joke that the only thing you really “learn” in school is how to memorize.
As it turns out, that’s not even the case for most of us. If you go around the room and ask a handful of people how to memorize things quickly, most of them will probably tell you repetition. That is so far from the truth, it’s running for office. If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly, repetition won’t cut it; however, recalling something will. The problem is that recalling something requires learning, and we all learn in different ways. Before we start, you need to establish something: are you an auditory, visual, or experiential learner? Step 1: Preparation To optimize your memorization session, pay close attention to which environment you choose.
Next, start drinking some tea. As we get older, toxic chemicals will damage our neurons and synapses, leading to memory loss and even Alzheimer’s.

Sleeping Beauty Syndrome: The Disorder Where You Sleep All Day. Dan Lewis runs the wildly popular daily newsletter Now I Know (“Learn Something New Every Day, By Email”). To subscribe to his daily email, click here. Fairy tales made their way into the modern literary sphere when French author Charles Perrault published Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697 (literally, “Stories or tales of times past”). Histoires was a collection of stories that quickly permeated our culture, including the now-famous Cinderella, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, and Sleeping Beauty.
Whatever basis Perrault’s stories have in reality are quite tenuous at best — one doesn’t see pumpkins-as-chariots, swashbuckling cats, or wolves wearing grandma’s bed clothes in the real world. The sleeping-for-a-century part of the Sleeping Beauty tale is also total fiction.
