A couple months back, I joined Anthony Metivier's Free video course and over the next few days I received links for various Private videos on YouTube, letting me in on the Magnetic Memory Method.
Apart from long advertisement towards the end of the videos, I'd say the course was worth the time. I have already been following his Podcast for a couple of months now, so I thought why not explore his website and videos as well. What he has to say about memory is quite sensible - especially the fact that Memory is just a Muscle, the more we use this muscle; the stronger it becomes.
At the same time, I was exploring various visualization libraries for Programming and somehow the idea got came together that " What if I could make a random bunch of journeys/palaces using programs and then use them for my practice?".
I did make progress with the libraries and the memory practice ( about the time when I bought the Pack of Cards ) but my rhythm came to a halt with being caught in the Dengue wave that was going on in the country, plus after that I got involved with the StartUp I mentioned in the previous posts.
Fast forward a month, I made little graphical representations of Japanese sentences which I wanted to memorize - as I haven't mad any active progress with the Memorizing Songs Project - I thought why not experiment with something else. This week I plan to make progress with actually putting those key-phrases Visualets in an actual Memory Palace. The Idea being that I'd be able to remember more by making all these associations and organizing them in a particular order - this promises awesome skills.
Hopefully, this technique that I am working on, will make the entire Memory Ability thing more appealing for me. To be honest, I know it's gonna benefit me immensely but so far I have been quite resistant to the Idea of actually putting in all that work. That's the reason why this-post came about.
All I have to do is to be creative and make it Fun!
