Private Speech: Don't Just Think It, Say It!

Today I am going to teach you a technique so powerful, yet so simple, that it will make you slap yourself in amazement! But first, let's go back in time a couple of decades or so, to the good old days when you were 6 years old.

Small children process huge amounts of information within a very short time, and that is something you can actually copy! When you are studying a subject, don't keep the information only in your thoughts; say it out loud as well. Children do this naturally, and it is known as "private speech," or more often, thinking out loud.

The beauty of this method is that it gives your memory a second option. Instead of relying only on remembering your thoughts, you can now remember an actual physical voice.

This can make it easier to remember that crucial piece of information when you need it most! For more ways to make information stick, see how to improve memory.
