Memorizing passages

darhull says:
If you're someone who memorizes scripture or other passages (poetry, topics, etc) that you want to remember long term I've set up a memory learn/review system. The one I've set up is for Bible passages, but you can adapt it to fit anything you'd like to learn and remember long term

You start by reading what you want to remember 5x daily for 1 week.
At the end of the week you study what you're learning (in this case, we'd do an in-depth study of the Bible passage)
Then you divide what you need to learn over the span of 1 week
Then you schedule regular reviews.

I've made all the steps below a first priority because I want it to happen at the beginning of the day. I've also put a number (001, 002, 003. etc) before each task to order the tasks the way I want them to appear on my todo list.

Here is an example for learning the short Psalm 117:

003 Read Psalm 117x5 ^Monday !1
003 Read Psalm 117x5 ^Tuesday !1
003 Read Psalm 117x5 ^Wednesday !1
003 Read Psalm 117x5 ^Thursday !1
003 Read Psalm 117x5 ^Friday !1
003 Read Psalm 117x5 ^Saturday !1
001 Study Psalm 117 ^17/05/15 !1
002 Learn Psalm 117:1 ^18/05/15 !1
002 Learn Psalm 117:1 ^19/05/15 !1
002 Learn Psalm 117:1 ^20/05/15 !1
002 Learn Psalm 117:2 ^21/05/15 !1
002 Learn Psalm 117:2 ^22/05/15 !1
002 Learn Psalm 117:2 ^23/05/15 !1
001 Review Psalm 117 ^24/05/15 !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^25/05/15 *every 1 day for 100 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^01/09/15 *every 1 week for 12 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^23/11/15 *every 2 weeks for 6 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^14/02/16 *every 1 month for 6 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^13/08/16 *every 1 year !1

I used this website to get the correct dates: http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kneeholedesk.com%2FPages%2FDid_You_Know%2FBooks_of_the_Bible.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGuQgnuoGtFhCnTQQEsU2As7ldiew

Hope that helps someone!
