                            For Example:

                                                     In Memory Palace, you make use of an existing location that you know very well

For example, the neighborhood around your house

or your very own home

You will use this location in creating an extremely weird storyline

Because you can navigate from the location. Assume this is your house

Now, I will use this house in creating a storyline

The story can be funny, weird, or absurd

Because emotional things and the things that activate multiple senses are better remembered by us

We also retain stories and images better

So, I want to learn the periodic table

periodic table 

Now, I'd make use of my house. Assume I get inside my house because it is very sunny

Sunlight means sun and the sun means Hydrogen

The periodic table begins with hydrogen

Now, what's the next thing you see after entering the house?

Some people encounter the kitchen first

Imagine that your mother is blowing up balloons inside the kitchen

She's blowing up a big red balloon. Why? Because the balloons have helium

So, after hydrogen comes Helium

So, I'm imagining a very weird thing because the more weird and emotional it is, the more you'll retain it

After hydrogen and helium, comes Lithium

To imagine batteries, visualize your younger brother has strewn batteries all around

Whatever comes beyond the kitchen in your house

Next, imagine Beryllium

Now, Beryllium cannot be associated with a real-life thing

So you can use its word. For example, Beryllium has the word "berry" in it

Now, from berry, you can imagine turning towards your bathroom next

and seeing stains of berries on your T-shirts

Here, I'm using the locations to remember the order

First I came inside the house- that was hydrogen

then came helium and after that lithium

I'm making use of these weird situations to make an emotional impact so that I can remember them

So, here you are making use of your imagination and existing memories to remember a new thing

This technique is effective when you have to learn a lot of something

It is not of much use for smaller things

For example, other techniques are better for learning the periodic table

A mnemonic trick is widely used to learn the periodic table

For example, there's one "Kalu Nath Ca Mali Aloo Zara Feekay Pakata Hai"

So, from Kalu, we'd see K, which stands for potassium

Nath would be Sodium

Next comes calcium, magnesium, aluminum

You must have heard of this trick in school. This trick is widely used in Pkaistan 

So, I will not talk a lot about this trick because almost all of us already use it

You must also be using it. You can use it in any kind of thing

If someone else does not make the mnemonics, then you can make one for yourself that are self-created.

The third category is that of Languages

Languages have also been my weak point

I've only failed in 1 subject in the past year

And that subject was Punjabi

I know Urdu and Mewati because they are my tongue languages

But I know Punjabi only up to the Speaking  level

But I failed because language isn't something that you can study for 10-20 days and pass.

Language requires everyday learning in small quantities

and it requires a lot of practice

Language can be divided into four categories

Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking

Reading and listening can be practiced easily

You can merely go on the internet and read any entertaining stuff in that language for practice

Anything that you like reading

You can practice listening similarly

by watching your favorite movie in that language with subtitles

But there's a lot of requirement of practice.

The fourth category is Application-based subjects

It involves problem-solving and question solving

The theory is quite small

The problems and questions are more in number

This includes subjects like Maths, Accounting, and Mechanics

There's only one trick to solve them and that is - practice, practice, and practice.

It requires so much practice that you can ignore the theory most of the times

You can start studying these subjects by looking at the example questions

Look at how the example problems are solved

Recognize the pattern in the solutions and try and imitate it

when you are done solving some problems, then you can go back to the theory

to understand the theory of the entire thing

and what were the formulas being used in these questions

I'd like to give you a bonus suggestion here

Sometimes it so happens that you are reading something but you lose concentration

and it all goes above your head

because you don't find it interesting

A possible solution, in this case, would be trying to go to the depths of studying that thing

(try and find out) why are you studying it?

What is the purpose behind what you are studying? What is its history?

Why was such a thing made?

Why am I studying it today? Who was the first person to make it and why?

What was he thinking of (while making it)?

If you go to history, you'll understand the purpose behind its existence

and why are you studying it today?

One of the best examples of this is my article on share markets

Share market is very boring to hear about

Why would anybody be interested in learning or reading about it?

But I've explained its history and purpose of the article 

and if you go read  this article then you too would be more interested in learning about the share markets

I hope you would have learned a lot from this article

You would have learned "learning". What is the way to learn things?

how to study?
