1. Rehearse and repeat

Actively refresh material instead of passively absorbing it.

2. Exercise and sleep

Physical activity and rest strengthen memory consolidation overall.

3. Chunk information

Break content into bite-sized clusters of data to ease processing demands

4. Reduce interference

Minimise external distractions and mind wandering to keep attention focused.
