    Maybe try Anki ? It is specifically designed to help memorize stuff long term through spaced repetition.

    You will need to create you own cards or find someone else’s cards. Later after learning a card, it will magically schedule a review at the best time to not forget it.

    It really help me to learn vocabulary. (enable FSRS from the beginning)

      thing is, the issue is mostly with math (also with languages but mostly with spanish, which is pretty ironic since im a native speaker)

      might give it a try tho idk

        Then the problem is that you are trying to memorise things that shouldn’t be memorised.

        anki, mind palace and other mnemotechnics are good if you need to memorise irregular conjugations but math is different. The easiest method is to associate thing to memorise with some absurd and funny sentence. Emotions are relly good catalyst for memorising stuff.

        Math is based on rules and principles that you need to mix and match. The standard and basic method is to do hundredths of exercises. The better aproach would be to use math to solve complex problem with a lot of different tools. Some algebra, some geometry, some analysis. It will engage your brain and by putting mental effort (not willpower effort) you will retain that stufd for the future.
