The target I am setting myself is to revise and retain more varied terminology to be used in evaluations and other pieces of work.
To help me achieve this I will be leaving reminders of terminology in places I will see them regularly. For instance, a sticky note on the inside of my door that could say 'Modal Verb' and then the definition written underneath. Other examples are: leaving small notes on blank pages of my notebook to be viewed in the future, or drawing a memo on my phone screen that will be updated regularly.
The reason for this is that, simply put, when I see words I can't help but read them, and words that I read more often are of course more likely to stick in my long term memory. Derren Brown (TV 'magician') is known to do a similar thing, in which he incorporates things he needs to remember into his daily routine, for example an object or note on his bedside table as he wakes up, and another one on his door and another one stuck to the bathroom mirror, and other places where he will inevitably end up having his memory refreshed. Because most of what I know is something I read somewhere, and because Derren Brown seems to be very successful in matters of the mind I thought this would be a helpful experience for me.
Edit:
I placed some reminders on my phone which were very effective at drumming correct terminology definitions into my mind. I also placed some sticky notes but they would keep falling down or curling up and became mostly a waste of time.
