Hi, I thought you may like this Mentalrobics exercise from Braingle.com:
-----------------
Organization

People are much better at remembering meaningful [ For more on 'meaningful' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/116.html ] facts than random facts. This is because the mind takes advantage of all the pre-existing synapses [ For more on 'synapses' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/317.html ] that are already built up in the brain. If you are ever required to memorize facts for a test or meeting, you can improve your ability to remember the facts by organizing the data.

You could organize the material by category, alphabetically, chronologically, or by any other method that will help you group facts and give them some extra meaning. If you can, try to organize the material in several different ways. This will give your mind extra ways to retrieve the facts at a later time. For example, if you learn the names of the presidents of the United States in alphabetical and chronological order, you will have a much better chance at remembering them than if you learned them without any organization whatsoever.
