The memory we all possess is a powerful database of information that works like a super server.
You’re probably wondering, how is it true if it can’t even recall the lessons from the book I’ve just read?
To be Honest, you’re probably just training it incorrectly.
With the right training, you can upgrade it to a point where it becomes as sharp as a samurai’s blade, instantly recalling the information you’re searching for.
Imagine being able to instantly recall that chess position at the precise moment.
Or remembering math formulas effortlessly like a machine.
Or seamlessly delivering the funniest jokes you’ve seen one time on page to your crush, impressing her.
Having an exceptional memory is more important than ever today because of the machines that have been created to destroy your long-term memory.
Trust me, it’s so powerful that utilizing it properly can literally change your life.
Alright, alright, got it! But how do you actually improve memory?
To start: if you’re reading this, you’re by default training your memory, even if you don’t feel it, because it’s been proven that reading massively impacts memory.
Now let’s not talk about sleep, active recall, repetition, or chunking here. We can agree that we all know that stuff.
Here are three more effective ways to train your memory:
NO 1:
Imagine you get a one-month break from your work, and you spend that whole month lying in bed watching TV.
After that, you wouldn’t come back with a stronger body. Your body would become weaker than it used to be.
Your memory is the same; it’s a muscle that only stays fit if we put in the effort to keep it fit.
And when we stay overly dependent on technology, we are not making the effort to improve our memory.
So the first action step: Reduce your tendency to instantly access information online.
NO 2:
The way you’ve been memorizing the whole time is wrong.
Okay, this might increase your memorizing ability by 3-4 times, but to make it work, do this action step given here first.
Here’s a list of words: Set a 30-second timer and try memorizing them. After that, write what you’ve memorized on a sheet of paper.
1. Dog
2. Ball
3. Flower
4. Book
5. Tree
6. Car
7. Sun
8. Cat
9. Wall
10. Home
Okay, so if you’re like most people, you tried to memorize them by repeating them again and again. “Dog, ball, flower, book… Dog, ball, flower, book…”
Maybe you tried to visualize the words or looked at the words for 5 seconds and felt confident that you can recite them.
But you probably couldn’t remember every word and most likely couldn’t recall them in order.
Seems like your memorizing technique is ineffective. Trust me, there’s a more effective way to memorize things.
Now try this.
“Imagine a massive dog chasing a ball and accidentally breaking a gold flower. His owner throws a hardcover book at him, sending him flying into a huge tree.
Now the tree is hurt, and the angry tree picks up a car to hit him. To save his life, the dog takes a run. But the sun is so bright today that he gets exhausted.
He finds shade and tries to rest. Closing the distance, he notices that this big shade is coming from a cat who is five times bigger than him.
Noticing the cat’s devilish smile, he quickly hides behind a wall. Then, after the cat leaves, the dog slowly goes home, exhausted.”
Now, if you try remembering the words this way by the story, you’ll see that it’s far easier to remember than before.
Try and see. “Huge dog chasing ball. The hit from the book throws him to the tree. Devilish cat…”
Stories are far easier to remember because of all the emotional connection, visualization, etc.
You can remember literally anything with this, from the periodic table to any complex things you once thought impossible.
But make sure to make the story unusual and crazy so that it sticks to the mind.
P.S. Guys, trust me, it’s more powerful than you think. So, I wrote that word exercise yesterday.
And when I came back again to my chair today to write the unfinished part of the email, the story I made with the words came piercing through my mind like a vivid picture, and I was able to recall every word.
That’s crazy. This thing has no value to me, and I have no reason to remember it. But by turning this into a story, I can easily recall it at will.
NO 3:
Researchers have found that after 4 hours of learning, if the subject takes a 20-minute nap, they will retain more than if they do not.
So, without just sitting there for 12 hours burning your brain, take a 20-minute recovery power nap.
Without counting the long hours, make sure that the work you put in is effective, even if you work less.
So tribe members, that was it. If you think it could help someone, forward it to them. Till then, see ya.
This is most powerful weapon which I have received ever until now
So nice of you to encourage us in the best way possible...thanks a lot
