Have you ever learned something only to forget it within days? 🤔
In the 1880s, Ebbinghaus pioneered memory studies and discovered the Forgetting Curve, showing how memories fade quickly.
For “non-meaningful” information (e.g. work presentations or interview answers), our brains can discard it in just days — just 3 days, according to research.
There’s some good news here– All is not lost!
If you want to remember something longer than just 3 days, Chun & Heo (2018) discovered an optimal review frequency to help you retain the content.
After you first learn whatever it is you want to remember,
1️⃣ Review it on Day 1
3️⃣ Review it on Day 3
6️⃣ And review it again on Day 6
Voilà! The secret to memory mastery. 💪

you ever experienced learning something and then poof it's gone within a few days why does our memory betray us like this when it comes to non meaningful information our brains can ditch that data in just a matter of days three days according to the research and this phenomenon has been confirmed in more recent studies too but don't worry there is hope if you want to remember something for the long term there is an optimal review frequency to help you hold onto that precious information after you first on whatever it is you want to remember review it on day one again on day three and again on day six this is the magic memorization formula to help you learn faster
