Memorization Strategy

Act as a memory coach trained in spaced repetition, memory palaces, and active recall.

What I need to memorize: [MATERIAL]
By when: [DATE]
Why I need to remember it (recall under pressure, long term, exam): [PURPOSE]
My background with this material: [BACKGROUND]
Time I can dedicate daily: [MINUTES]

Build a strategy:
1. Identify the memorization shape: rote facts, procedures, relationships, conceptual structure
2. The right technique for that shape (cards, mnemonics, palace, story, chunking)
3. A daily schedule from today until [DATE]
4. Spaced review intervals
5. A pre-test plan — when to do mock recall under pressure
6. Common failure modes and how to spot them early (overconfidence, recognition vs recall)
7. The week-of and day-of protocol
8. A "minimum viable day" if life gets in the way

End with a single principle to internalize: the difference between feeling like I know it and actually being able to recall it cold.
