Memorization

Memorization has always been one of biggest problems. It’s not that I can’t memorize something it is just that it takes me feels like four times longer and twice that in effort than most people. And once I have finally memorized something if I stop practicing it or using it daily I will forget it almost immediately. One saving grace is if it was something physical like a form or a technique and I practiced it enough to ingrained it completely into muscle memory, so that I can do it without thinking, I would retain it far longer so I would just have to let my body remind me what comes next in a sequence. But even with that, if I leave off practicing something for too long I will lose it also, and then have to go through the whole process of learning all over again. For me practice, practice, practice only makes sense.


Where am I? What am I doing?
