Beat the Forgetting
Curve

Herman Ebbinghaus
Adapted with grateful thanks:
Prof. V. Viswanadham
Ebbinghaus Curve:
 Forgetting curve would

How do we forget?
start here if we could
remember everything after
a lecture
However, you have the potential
to forget less PLUS remember
more if you review immediately
after class

Class 10 min. 24 hrs. 1 wk. 1 mo. Notice how less
is forgotten
after each
review!!

07/14/10 02:02
So, Review is the secret
10 min - After class (or in the evening) by
completing, organizing & comprehending
(rewriting, typing) notes
24 hr – Next day, before forgetting phase
begins. Reread notes, condense the main
ideas & create questions
1 week - review and self-test your recall –
or do it with your friends.
Thus, when you prepare for your midterms,
you would have already reviewed the
material a minimum of 3 times
So, Review is the secret
Review – is Repetition
Repetition – is internalization
Internalization – is Absorption
Absorption – is making sure that
we never forget

Not forgetting leads to

better performance

 Time Management

• Time management is a set of principles,

practices, skills, tools, and systems that
work together to help you get more value
out of your time with the aim of improving
the quality of your life.
• It’s a broad subject that covers many
different areas from our day-to-day
activities and is linked to our GOALS.
Time Management

Can you STOP Time ?

Can you fast forward Time ?
Can you rewind Time ?
 Time Management
• 5 Main Aspects: -
1. Planning & Goal Setting
2. Managing Yourself
3. Dealing with other People
4. Your Time
5. Getting Results
 Time Wasters
• Procrastination – Putting off important
activities for some trivial ones
• Favourite Put-Offs:
– “I will surf the channels for just 10 minutes”
– “Let me just check my inbox before I do this”
– “Just 5 more minutes”
Minutes turn in to Hours
and Hours in to Days
and losing time becomes
a habit
