STEP SEVEN: Teach What You Learn.
Because teaching is remembering twice.
Now, let me reveal
one of the most underrated memory secrets on earth.
If you want to remember something forever, teach it.
Not tomorrow, not next week.
Teach it immediately.
Right after you learn it.
Because the moment you teach something, you go from receiver to creator.
You stop being a student and you start becoming the master.
And that changes everything.
When you teach something to another person, you are forced to do three things.
One, recall it clearly.
Two, organize it in your mind.
Three, say it in your own words.
This forcest your brain to rebuild the knowledge from inside.
And anything you can rebuild, you will never forget.
It is like carving it into stone.
Let's say today you learned the English word procrastinate.
You read. Procrastinate means to delay doing something.
You understand it, but if you walk away and say nothing, your brain says, "Okay, maybe this isn't important."
And within 24 hours, the word is gone.
But if you say to your friend, "Hey, do you know the word procrastinate?"
It means when we keep delaying things we know we should do like homework, exercise, or cleaning. I always procrastinate doing the dishes.
Boom! 💥 Now your brain just built a memory that will never die.
Why?
Because you didn't just learn it, you used it, shared it, taught it.
When I say teach, I don't mean become a teacher.
You can do any of these.
Explain what you learned to a friend.
Speak it out loud to yourself in the mirror.
Write a social media post about it.
Record a voice note pretending to teach someone.
Make a mini video, even if no one watches.
You don't need an audience.
You just need to activate the teacher mode inside you.
And when you do, you learn deeper than ever before.
Students who study and then teach others perform up to 90% better on tests.
Doctors who teach new interns remember procedures faster.
Even spiritual leaders say when you teach, you heal twice.
Once for them and once for you.
Teaching is not the end of learning.
Teaching is the proof of learning.
It is one of the most powerful mental tools in the world.
And the best part, it's free, it's fast, it's available to you right now.
If you apply this step daily, you'll become a memory machine.
And more than that, you'll start inspiring others to learn just by being you.

STEP EIGHT: Create A Mind Palace.
Because your brain remembers places better than facts.
This is one of the most legendary memory techniques in history.
It was used by ancient Greek philosophers.
It is used by modern-day memory champions.
And it's so powerful that people have memorized the order of entire decks of cards, entire speeches, even hundreds of random facts in minutes.
It's called the mind palace.
And now I'm going to teach you how to build one.
What is a mind palace?
Your brain 🧠 is naturally good at remembering places, locations, buildings, rooms, houses, roads.
Even after 10 years, you might still remember the house you lived in as a child.
The color of the walls, where the couch was, the smell of the kitchen, your favorite corner to hide.
Why?
Because your brain 🧠 loves space.
It remembers places because places anchor information.
Now imagine this.
What if you could place any information you want to remember inside a location in your mind?
You could walk through your memory like a hallway and collect every detail you want.
That is the mind palace.
Let me walk you through it in simple beginner friendly steps.
Choose a place you know very well. Your home. Your school. Your favorite cafe.
The place should be familiar so you can walk through it in your mind easily.
Let's say you choose your house.
Imagine walking through it.
Visualize your main door, then the living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, balcony.
Try to picture it as clearly as possible, like a mental video game.
Assign memory items to each location.
Now take what you want to remember and place one item in each room using pictures.
Let's say you want to memorize the planets in order.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Here's how your mind palace might look.
Living room. A pan is on fire. That's Mercury. Hot like mercury in a thermometer.
Kitchen. A perfume bottle sprays pink fog. That's Venus, the goddess of beauty.
Bathroom, a spinning globe in the bathtub. That's Earth.
Bedroom. Red dust all over the bed. That's Mars, the red planet.
Balcony, a giant balloon bouncing like a ball. Jupiter, biggest planet.
Stairs, a ring around the stair pole. Saturn, rings of Saturn.
Terrace, an ice cube shivering
on a chair. Uranus, cold planet.
Gate. A blue ocean splashing at your feet. Neptune, god of the .
Now close your eyes and walk through
your house.
You will never forget the order of the planets again.
You are using locations your brain already knows.
You are adding visual stories inside those spaces.
Your brain 🧠 associates space with memory, making it stronger and stickier.
This is how memory athletes can memorize the exact order of 500 random numbers because they place them inside their mind palaces.
Use cases.
Memorizing speeches, learning foreign words, remembering facts, numbers, lists, studying for exams, memorizing a daily routine.
The mind palace gives you structure and the brain loves structure.
Tips for success.
Make the images inside your palace as strange and emotional as possible.
Review your palace often.
Walk through it daily.
Keep using the same palace.
The more familiar it becomes, the better it works.
And don't worry if it feels hard at first.
Just like any skill, the more you use it, the more powerful it becomes.
And if you truly use it, your brain 🧠 will no longer be a place where knowledge gets lost.
It wil become a temple where everything you need is kept safe, organized, and ready.

STEP NINE: Review Before buggy.
Because night is when your brain decides what to keep.
Here's a fact that schools never teach, but it's scientifically proven.
What you do in the last 10 minutes
