what is the best way to remember stuff?

I posed this question to Divya, the great -- you will soon find out why!

Divya: OK what skills do you have?

me: photography
a little writing
my editing skills are good

Divya: exactly
get hold of your book
edit it
and write it
in your own words
and if you like photography - and you have a photographic memory
just stare at a page
for 1-2 minutes
you'll know what is in there
that works for me
i mean i cant explain it
its like
i can look at something
and i have that picture
in my head
so even in the exam hall if i cant remember
what was there
its like i can visualise that paper in front of me
n see what is written
my skills lie in gossiping
spreading/sharing stuff
so whatever i read or study
if i tell it to someone
any person
i NEVER EVER forget it
which is why i actually agree to teach
more out of selfishness than for doing them any good

me: you should patent this idea
it will work for everyone

Divya: lol

me: the diagramming thing works for me
i have been doing it since 6th std
i draw everything in a flow chart/diagram/table - it's a form of editing

Simply put your strongest skills to work -- works with almost any problem.
