    Forgetting plays an important role in the learning process. It helps our brain sort important information from trivial details and prevents information overload. Forgetting irrelevant information allows us to maintain focus on key subjects. Additionally, forcing our brain to retrieve important information that we've learned makes it work harder to solidify that knowledge in our memory. An effective learning strategy is to focus on important topics, forget unnecessary information, and regularly retrieve learned materials to strengthen memory over time.

    Have you ever felt that whenever you are learning something, after that, you forget what

    you learned? That happened a lot to me. Somewhat It can be frustrating to have to learn things all
    over again. However, something that you may be surprised by, is that, actually forget to learn plays a
    key part when it comes to learning strategies. Sometimes having a lot of information overwhelms
    our memory and prevents us from maintaining focus on the important subjects. Also, there are
    times that I have the sensation that remember things is very hard to do, and that is true and good
    for our memory. Forget to learn is one learning strategy, by which, I can maintain focus from
    irrelevant information stored in my memory and make my brain work hard when retrieving
    important information from my memory.

    Both, focusing on important subjects, avoiding irrelevant information and making my brain
    work hard when it comes to retrieve relevant information are great ways to improve my memory.
    Dr. Hermann Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist, states that, “Forgetting is a key element of the
    learning process because it helps the brain sort important from trivial information; in this age of
    information overload.” Sometimes I felt like having to remember all things was like remember
    nothing. I remember when having too much in my mind was so overwhelming that I felt very tired
    with no motivation at all. That was when I learned to keep focus on the relevant subjects. Another
    experience that I had was that, whenever I learned something like reading books, I had the sensation
    that I already learned effectively what I had to. Reality is that I let my brain believe that I already had
    learned. When I do not force my brain to retrieve the things I learned, my brain is not working hard,
    as a result, I am not learning effectively. That is why, it is important to keep focus on the important
    things, maintain them in our brain and then retrieving them by having our brain working hard
    actively.

    As you can see, a strong combination of focusing on the important information and
    forgetting irrelevant subjects, and making our brain work hard by retrieving that important
    information, is a key path by which I can learn many things. Our brain sometimes wants us to take it
    easy, but doing the opposite will bring change to our mind. I believe these activities will help me
    improve and train my memory as I keep practicing and combining them.
