✍️ This workbook is yours to fill in during the workshop. Online version: your answers save automatically on this device. Bring it open (or printed) to the session — you'll write in it at least four times.

SECTION 01

Key Concepts

Jot the idea behind each term in your own words as we cover it — your phrasing, not mine.

The forgetting curve

The fluency illusion

The testing effect

SECTION 02

Your Current Method (quick check)

From your Revision Method Audit — the method you rely on most, and the honest verdict.

My go-to revision method is…

Hours per week it takes

How much survives a week later?

SECTION 03

Build Your R.E.C.A.L.L. System

R — My retrieve-first routine

E — One elaboration per subject

C — My chunks

L — My loop dates

L — Protecting sleep (my last-review time)

SECTION 03 · CONTINUED

Your Memory Palace

Route: somewhere you know blindly (your home is perfect). Ten fixed stopping points, same order every time. Place one vivid, moving, absurd image per point.

#	Stopping point (locus)	Image placed here (revision content)

Walk the route forward to recall. Walk it backwards to revise. Same order, every time — the route itself becomes the retrieval cue.

SECTION 04

The Memory Contract

Vague intentions don't survive Monday. Fill this in before you leave the workshop.
