1. Spend 48 hours reading and digging DIGG submissions. The breadth of material submitted is remarkable.
2. Read all the comments -- it's good brain exercise too. - jimmiss, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28"1. Believe you will remember"
This is where I stopped reading. - Synthos, on 10/10/2007, -7/+308. Stop believing in a god.

- gutistg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Five Steps to Memorizing Anything
1. Try to remember
2. Keep trying

4. Make yourself remember, it seems obvious, but it does work.
5. Don't forget. - jczubach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I drink to forget...
- mage1129, on 10/10/2007, -6/+15This has nothing ot do with doubling your brain power. Advice on how to remember things better and think critically aren't going to boost your IQ any amount of points.
- vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8For #2 better make that "Try to read all the comments..."
- CMaff24, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Should be: "How to Counteract Being High."
- chubbybubba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"A sharp pencil is better than a long memory!"......... at least I think it is.......... if I remember it correctly............. damn I wrote that down a couple years ago.............never-mind.
- psychicfriend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"Critical Thinking" is NOT defined as "looking at the negative aspects," and it is not the opposite of "positive thinking."
Someone who makes a list of how to improve thinking should understand the common-usage definitions of terms associated with thinking and reasoning.
Unless they're an idiot, that is. - starrychloe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+51. I believe I can fly.

- thinkingserious, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That reminds me of Einstein, in saying that it's best not to remember things that you can reference... or something to that effect.
- thinkingserious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4No wonder it feels like my brain is expanding.
- RedX117, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4What the f*** is this? I was better off before I read the article cuz now I have that much more useless information using up my brain power. I'm gonna go play Big Brain Academy...

- blackkbot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Does anyone see the humor in trying to remember the list of things that will help you remember better? I already forgot them.
- gutistg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3How is that useless?
- crashflow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Zoolander School For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Want To Do Other Things Good Too
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The space aliens who visit me nightly in my dreams told me stuff like this. I really, really believe it works! Especially improving memory! Now I remember my past lifes! I used to be a tiny green insect on a dinosaur's ass! And then I was reincarnated much higher, as Kevin Rose! Thank you, space aliens! Except for the scoop marks and the nasal implant, and my butt hurts.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3This reminds me of the tips from that book, "The Secret"
- AHippie, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5How did this make the front page? Does the average Digger really need to be told that not letting your mind wander makes you remember things better?
- akira117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2One word "Acid" :P

- queenstarsha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2actually, critical thinking probably does help with IQ.
- Heckran, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I think Einstein said he never memorized phone #'s because they were a waste of brain space since he could just write them down.
- RobotBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5"7. Where are the facts coming from?"

- Vietmrx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Thanks for reiterating the same recyclable "studying techniques" I've been fed since middle school.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It is "4", by the way.
- qwertydvorak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"Don ’t you want to think faster, remember more and comprehend more information?"

- Smight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This seems like it's geared toward reporters with an IQ below 85. Perhaps it could be better titled "How not to make a complete fool of yourself when reporting an event."

- JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I thought this was going to show me how to increase my brain's electrical wattage. Lame.
