Help Study methods?

[ikiruNObungaku]

My memory has gotten exceedingly worse over time. I'm not sure what the cause is at all, but it makes me sad. It's so hard to remember things for school, let alone just everyday things, so I do my best to try and remember things with extensive studying. No one believes me when I say my memory has become worse. But I need some better studying methods.

I respond very well to discipline, so usually I will starve myself until things are completed or studied thoroughly. Recently I've taken to hitting myself with a hammer for every wrong answer I get when I study. But, if anyone has some better methods, I would like to hear it. I really want my study material to stick in my mind.

not sure what this method is called, but basically once you learn something you should try and explain it in very simple terms to someone, could be to a family member or to a doll even, it really makes you digest the information not just memorize it.

(tbh that is a really basic study method, you probably tried it before as well)

I think I might have heard of this before, and that is a very good method when I tried it! I would like to continue to do it more, but I do not have any friends or family to explain my material to now. I'm sorry.

You can still do it even when no one is there. It's sort of like practicing for a presentation
Also If you're having memory problems, it might be best to just focus on understanding instead. Things usually become easier to remember if you completely understand it, though this may not work well if you're studying law or a bunch of scientific terms...

If you ever wanna try some more mild versions of these:
- Using timers, work until the timer finishes, then after a small break restart it again
- Restart from question 1 (or any previous #) whenever you get a wrong answer (can be time-consuming tho)
- Take notes for every wrong answer as a reminder

Other methods I can think of are mnemonics, flashcards, trying to relate or apply the topic with something life-related, and trying to recite all the terms in under 1 minute (but this is memorization yep)
These are all also common methods tho ToT If you've tried these before and it didn't work then excuse me haha
