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.

All the way through my first college year I struggled with poor memory retention. It always seemed like no matter how hard I tried to pay attention, I could never remember something the first time around. Many times, even after reading a chapter in a book I would try and remember what I just read and would draw a blank! It is a wonder how I ever managed to get through high school! I knew I wouldn\'t be so lucky in college if I didn\'t find a way to improve my memory. So I spent much of my time reading all sorts of books trying to improve my memory and that\'s when I came across [http://www.ultimatebrainpower.net]UltimateBrainPower.Net.

I\'m so glad I gave it a try! Between my job and school I didn\'t have much time, but it only took 10 minutes a day for 9 days for me to not only improve my memory retention skills but also develop a photographic memory! This has changed my whole life for me, I no longer struggle to remember things in school! And my new photographic memory comes in handy especially when I need to remember a girl\'s phone number!
