Memorizing some things, sometimes completely unnecessary to us, is very easy, and the necessary information, no matter how much we want it, we can not put into memory or just remember. This is due to the ability of the brain to assimilate, accumulate and reproduce information. Skills and information that is stored for years and decades is a long-term memory.

Step 1
There are several ways and techniques for developing long-term memory. Repetition: all information is memorized by a person unevenly, and if you learn something, then most of it, without repetition, is forgotten within an hour. How to repeat correctly to remember? Repeat immediately after the information has been received, and then within 20-30 minutes and every other day. Thus, the passed material or information will surely be deposited in long-term memory.
Step 2
Attention and impression: both can be arbitrary and not arbitrary. It's good if your attention is uncontrollable and constant, any information is perceived and remembered easily, but if not, then motivation will help to sharpen it. Just mentally convincing yourself that the information you are trying to remember is very important to you. The more emotionally your impression of the information received, and the more concentrated your attention, the easier it will be to assimilate the information.
Step 3
Associations: there are individual. You can make an association by similarity, or vice versa, by difference. The easiest way is to associate with the sensations and knowledge you are already familiar with. Thus, remembering the information you have known for a long time, the associative array will set in motion and a new one will be remembered. The brighter the association, the easier the information fits into long-term memory.
Step 4
Structuring: a process in which the entire block of information is divided into groups, subgroups. All groups and subgroups are logically connected with each other, thus, all information remains integral and no fragments are lost. Structuring can be in the form of a pyramid at the head, which is the concept of the most important of all information, and the ranks of the least significant go down. It can be a sun with a center of meaning and equally significant rays. It all depends on the imagination. And if the structuring process is transferred to paper, then the information will go even faster to the section that has been postponed for a long time.
Step 5
Visualization or entry into information. The most effective way to memorize material for a long time. A vivid picture with a representation of what you need to remember in detail and with a sense of yourself in it. Thus, a person feels like one with the information that he memorizes. In this technique, turning on the imagination, you can combine all the passed memorization techniques. The main thing is not to be afraid of new impressions and sensations. By resorting to at least one of the methods, it will not be difficult to make the most difficult information easily digestible.
