Organization of material
It is important to put effort into preparing and packaging material that you want to learn. Suppose you had the task of memorizing the letters: NALSL IFRA OWB WLISND. It could be done, but it would be difficult. There is no apparent pattern to the eighteen letters. They could be alphabetized: AA B D F II LLL NN O R SS WW; then there would be only eleven groups of letters to learn. However, if the letters are rearranged into words to form a little message: RAIN FALLS WINDS BLOW, then the learning task is much simpler. When new material is organized into meaningful patterns, learning can be much more efficient.
