So you want to develop a photographic memory? Well this is definitely not something that happens over night, but with consistent practice it is very much possible! However, before you can learn how to run you need to learn how to walk first. In other words, in this article I am going to teach you a couple tricks that helped me improve my memory, and were also a major stepping stone in eventually developing a photographic memory.

It is a fact, that the average person only uses two percent of their total brain power, a person with photographic memory uses up to 98%. Obviously, there is a major difference there. So the best way to learn how to develop a photographic memory is to change the way we absorb information and to start using the different parts of the brain.

The quickest way for the brain to absorb information is through visualization. By creating a mental picture inside your head, the next time you want to remember something, you are activating a completely different part of the brain that is not used by simply reading or listening to something.

Most of us seem to remember more clearly when we have reference to a visual aid, rather than absorbing information off a piece of paper or having someone tell it to us.

Therefore, in order to increase our memory retention we need to make an effort to visualize everything we learn.

If there is something you want to remember ask yourself

- Can I convert this information into some sort of chart or graph?

- Can I draw it out?

- Can I make a mental video to help me remember this?

There you have it, a time tested technique that will help you eventually develop a photographic memory.
