commit to memory

Store in mind

To commit to memory is to memorize something deliberately, storing it for later recall: She committed the poem to memory, Commit these instructions to memory before you go.

The phrase suggests intentional effort rather than passive absorption—you're entrusting information to your memory for safekeeping.
