• Decide what to study (reasonable task) and how long or how many (chapters, pages, problems, etc.). Set and stick to deadlines.
• Do difficult tasks first. For procrastination, start off with an easy, interesting aspect of the project.
• Have special places to study. Take into consideration lighting, temperature, and availability of materials.
• Study 50 minutes, and then take a 10 minute break. Stretch, relax, have an energy snack.
• Allow longer, "massed" time periods for organizing relationships and concepts, outlining, and writing papers. Use shorter, "spaced" time intervals for rote memorization, review, and self-testing. Use odd moments for recall/review.
• If you get tired or bored, switch task/activity, subject, or environment. Stop studying when you are no longer being productive.
• Do rote memory tasks and review, especially details, just before you fall asleep.
• Study with a friend. Quiz each other, compare notes and predicted test questions.

Now is a good time to introduce Memletics. The Memletics Accelerated Learning System is a new way to develop and improve your learning skills and mental fitness, made available for the first time in 2003. Memletics helps you learn faster and keep what you've learnt for longer. It's based on research from medicine, neurology and education, as well as experiences of the author and others over the past ten years.

The name Memletics comes from two words - Memory and Athletics. From the beginning, Memletics been based on using mental fitness as the core enabler of better learning and better memory. Memletics uses several approaches to help you accelerate your learning:

• It provides an integrated learning system. This gives you a clear structure and specific steps to help you achieve top mental fitness and highly effective learning practices.
• It recognizes your brain's natural abilities and uses them effectively. Your brain has an immense capability for learning, and Memletics helps you use more of your unused capability.
• It helps your brain perform well, from both a physical and mental perspective. With some knowledge of what positively and negatively impacts the brain, you can help it perform at its best.
• It helps you use new technology to enhance your learning. There are valuable and affordable tools now available that can significantly improve learning and memory.

Memletics is unique because it combines research from not one but several areas of human performance. Using Memletics and accelerated learning you can rediscover (or for some people, discover for the first time) the satisfaction of learning well.

"I highly recommend the Memletics Manual to everyone. It's an invaluable resource for anybody who's learning any material. Memletics has helped me in many areas, inside and outside of aviation, and it can be used in so many different ways."
- Tim Clark, Grade 1 Flight Instructor and Memletics user.
