How To Study Using The "Story Method"

One of the most effective study techniques I've used for the past 2-3 years has been this. People remember stories more than normal facts or random pieces of data. Stories allow you to link different facts together and make it easier for you to process.

The easiest way to do this is using "FTF" (First, Then, Finally).

First, the main character (you or anyone else you imagine) will start on a journey. That's scene one. You will need to associate some points to this scene. This will mostly include the overall concept. Basic understanding.

Then, the main character will face a problem. This will include all the major questions revolving around the topic.

Finally, the main character will find the answers. Let's break it down more.

Determine Your Characters And Scene

Depending on what you are studying, choose your characters and scenes. If you're studying chemistry? Imagine that you are the lead scientist who made some error during one of their experiments which made them go into a deep sleep and now the whole world is sleeping and you are the only one who can reverse it. Make new stories. Make them wild. Add dragons. Dialogues can be a few points too.

Read And Make Bullet Points

First, read and refer to various reading materials for the specific topic. And then jot down the main points before underlining the keywords. Now using these keywords, connect it to the story. You will get new ideas and trust me, it will get easier after some time.

The first thing to do after reading the passage or topic, find something that reminds you of something... it may be anything from fictional characters to actors to books, tv shows, movies, literally anything!!

Make A Chain

When you're learning, the best way to remember things is to make a chain out of each topic and it's subdivisions/points/headings. It acts in the same way as a link, you'll connect one link with another and you've got your chain.

You got 3 scenes for different points? Then connect them together.

Write And Relate

Then write down the points. Give one main keyword to each scene and write it down in the margin of your notes or textbook. Review it every day for a week. And then once a week until you can remember every detail of the topic.

Come Up With The Name

Split the word and see if you can come up with a name for the whole story. Keep it simple and make it memorable. Assign one story to each topic.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
