Super helpful if you're an IT guy and need to remember a bunch of different IP addresses, usernames, and passwords. Also people love it when you remember their name. Highly recommend taining your memory, it's very useful.
How long does it take you?
Do you use any mnemonic techniques?
Would your time not be better spent memorizing foreign vocab?
Do you see an improvement?
Have you checked for cross-task improvements?
What got you doing this? What differences do you see?
I will eventually use it to learn a new language.
I read half of "Moonwalking with Einstein", worked out some exercises, and started practicing. By the next day, I could remember the order of the deck of cards!
I can't believe I went my whole school career without knowing such a valuable technique.
Can you expand on what you mean by cross-improvement?
The differences are huge. One of the first things I did was make a memory papace for my current month and set up my schedule.
Also remembering names is laughably trivial for me now.
It feels like gaining a super power in the form of memory and litteraly everyone thinks you're a genius (even though they could just as easily learn the skill)
I'm talking about cultivating your memory like a muscle. That way, when it comes time to use it, you actually can.
