Have a bunch of laws I need to memorize, about 60 pages, and I simply can't concentrate enough to memorize it. I've figured out it wouldn't be a bad idea to record myself reading it out and then listen to it on PC while playing something/browsing the interwebs etc. What's a good game that doesn't require a lot of concentration, so that I can memorize a bit of it everyday.

I have about 20 days to do it, and while most will think it's easy - I haven't studied for 3 or so years since I graduated and completely forgot how to study.

Preferably some game that's already in my library.

Thanks !

That's actually a great idea! I'm supposed to have an exam, and a few months after that there's a physical test that I have to pass (pushups and other things (relatively easy) and the hardest of them all - 2400m run in 12 minutes). That should get my stamina up. Thank you, sir/lady!

out of curiosity, what are you studying that you need to memorize word by word? Couldn't you just compress the info into just like 10-15 pages?

Law. Don't really need to memorize it word by word EXACTLY, but you can't really twist it around and change it too much, because it will lose its meaning.

I would say you should play some slow paced puzzle games like:

  • Eufloria HD
  • The Talos Principle
  • Samorost 2

It activates your brain but you are still able to listen to yourself and don't start to get to distracted

edit
I still voted for "Get off that computer and study your shit, dawg!" because, tbh, I don't think that this would work that good. :D Maybe you could sing it...

Can't be more right hahahaha

I just need to get in the groove again. I studied a bit now and it's going relatively smoothly. I'm guessing I won't even need to record it and listen.

do not play videogames, and if you like chewing gum, hen chew i while studing, and bring the exact same chewing gum (I mean flavor, don't be nasty) to the exam, your brain will associate the flavor with whatever you are studying, improving your performance.

Thank you, will try! But I'm reading it out aloud and the chewing gum would probably make me not say the words properly and frustrate me even more. I have to drink water every 5 minutes as it is, anyway. But I'll give it a shot!

EDIT: I really wanted to use the SAME piece of gum ... won't work any other way :(

I meant chew while listening, if you are gonna record it. It also works with smells, so using a cologne while studying and then in the exam should work as well, and many more things, the tick is to make your brain do an association between the study material and another stimuli.
