You can train your brain to help you remember things that you are studying. Here are four things you can do to help you think better.

1. Make Connections
   Make the things you want to remember connect to each other in some way. So, when you are trying to learn an idea, try to see how it connects to the topic you are studying. If you can make a connection, you can remember how the things go together.
2. Close Your Eyes And Visualize
   Try to picture in your mind what you wish to remember. For example, if you are trying to remember that Columbus landed in 1492, you might want to close your eyes and visualize, or see a picture of Columbus on his ship with the date 1492 painted on the side.
3. Concentrate
   Focus on one thing and only one thing.
4. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
   If you have to remember a list of words, for example, read it once and do this over and over again until you know it. Repeating what you have to remember can help burn the information into your memory.
