Taking breaks whilst memorising

I’ve noticed one of the things that harms a students memorisation and demotivates them is having breaks.

Having a break for 1 day is good and actually beneficial. However the harmful breaks are those that are in excess of 2-3 days *without a need*. This will:

- reduce momentum - memorising is all about momentum

- as a result it will demotivate a student

- it will weaken the memorisation

- the brain will have to readjust and the body when you restart memorisation

So try your best to avoid breaks in memorising. I understand sometimes it can be overwhelming - which is why I advise when it gets tough *reduce the memorisation but don’t stop all together*.

The same advice applies to revision. Don’t stop revising altogether but if you have to reduce it then do so until you can increase it again.

If you remain consistent upon this advice while memorising and at least 2 years after finishing, I am confident with the permission of Allah your memorisation will be good and remain with you.
