How do you study/memorize quickly?
This is a big dilemma in my life.
I'd like to have a system which allows me to remember anything I want to remember on command. I've delved into mnemonics and memory palaces and have only used them for things like remembering numbers.
Tell me your secrets.
i have poor memory for specifics, so i learn to derive everything in language from basic principles
languages like english are difficult because, unlike german or mathematics, just mashing together basic ideas doesn't lead to a coherent object

So you're a native german?

Can someone edit the pic so the last panel is the same as the second panel, only with an EM drive instead of a mouse trap

Mnemonics that are counter-intuitive, convoluted, or funny are often better than mnemonics that make sense.

You forget everything you know.

That would totally eliminate the joke.

step 1. Start reading.
Practice visualization and using the other inner senses. You can approximate sounds, smells, feels, pretty much any sense object with your imagination. Combine the senses for best effect.

step 2. get out of 4chan

Right cause the em drive is legit.
Well, if were talking about intro stuff, repitition.
If were talking about advanced stuff, i dont memorize stuff very quickly, i try to understand the process by daily practice.

step 3. AND NEVER RETURN

step 4. return
it might sound retarded but i study until i believe i could teach somebody about what i learned. understanding > memorizing would be my advice.

Tinted yellow glasses (there's a reason highlighters are yellow, retention is improved for objects which are yellow or red. Why? no idea.)
White noise/loud metal music that isn't melodic.
Dark room and a flashlight shining only on the book I'm reading.
It's routine for me now so I don't know if it helps as much as I think it does or if its a comfort thing, but I retain more when I cram like this.

If I wear yellow tinted glasses constantly, will it improve my memory overall?
>memorizing
>not learning
enjoy your shitty recall abilities.
Maybe. You'll also die trying to cross the street, but these are the sacrifices one must make.
I use my imagination. If information pops up that I'd like to memorize, I synthesize my imagination with reality, imagining myself performing the acts being memorized.
If I'm learning Kingdom Phyllum Class Order Genus Species I'm walking into a kingdom of nothing but plants, THIS IS MY KINGDOM, then I walk over to the beautiful, VAST array of flowers, THIS PHYLLUM IS BEAUTIFUL, then I'll run over to the conifers, THIS PHYLLUM HAS HEAVY SEEDS, HOW BEAUTIFUL, walking deeper into the forest, an array of them all have books in front of them, in CLASS as the group in the middle, their trees have glasses and give ORDERS to other trees through textbooks, while the group in the center are GENIUSES giving help to the teachers. Genus and then there's species because species're the most SPECIfic.
I love the freaking phylum of freaking flowers.
Calm helps us remember things. I'd say calm's the most conducive.

OP, the answer to your question is surprisingly simple. Just study things you enjoy, and the memorization will occur without any conscious effort. There is really no use in trying to memorize something that doesn't make sense to you or doesn't seem useful to you, because you're never going to truly want to memorize it in the first place. Study things you enjoy studying, practice working out problems with what you know. The brain is very plastic, it will remember the things you use/like most. If you come across a problem you can't work out that interests you, you can study that new subject with relative ease. And repeat the process. If you're having trouble memorizing things that interest you, you can try cutting back on the weed.
