Do you have any tricks for remembering things you need for work or study?

A natural way to answer

I rely a lot on repetition and routine. If I go over something a few times across the week rather than all at once, it tends to stay with me. Linking new facts to things I already know also helps me commit them to memory.

Key phrases to use

• stick in my head — to stay in your memory so you don't forget it“That jingle really sticks in my head.”
• commit them to memory — to learn something so well that you remember it fully“I committed the key dates to memory before the exam.”
• stick like glue — to stay firmly in your memory and be very hard to forget“Embarrassing moments stick like glue.”
• slip your mind — to be forgotten, usually accidentally“Sorry, your birthday completely slipped my mind.”
