If we take a parallel between our body and a computer, this process is akin to saving a document we read over internet. But unlike a computer, this happens with the human brain only with repetition.  In Practical terms, this can happen in several ways. But the common factors are 1. the number of iterations of the storing and retrieval 2. the orderliness of the file system The following processes should be understood very well for what they can do and what they cannot. #### Highlighting Highlighting is easy but helps in two ways. One it highlights the points. Secondly, it helps quicker reviews. #### Note Making This helps study in two ways. One is to make the important points stand out. The other is the added familiarity with the terms and concepts as the iterations increase. #### Retrieval Systems Examinations, revisions, discussions with friends all help this process. #### Spaced Repetition Spaced repetition using tools such as [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net) has been found to be highly useful. #### Feynman Technique This is nothing but taking a class, on what you have studied to a small child. In simple language. The child understands and clearly.  --- Read more about *How to Study* [[How to Study|here]]
