![]() I propose using a conversational learning system, that forces learners to respond. I built something that exactly solves this problem:Ģ. How could I get more out of reading? So I memorized books. Next year it's gone, maybe I recall 3 ideas. > I used to read a book, maybe take notes and hopefully take some new action. But it gets a bit cumbersome at some point. I was into memory training after reading "Moonwalking with Einstein" (Excellent book btw). It feels like watching a vivid (albeit dreamy) movie.Īnyways, like anything the deep end of this mind training is totally amazing and unlike the initial "lifehack" quick wins. At the end of the day, I can mentally re-watch my whole day and catch interesting, things that I missed in the moment. With all this training, my ability to visualize has just gone through the roof. because those packages have become one chunk in my mind. Before coding I review the software development palace. Like when I think of argparse, I automaticaly think of clicklib and fire. When I find a better solution than something in the standard library, I attach that memory to the standard library. Why? Is it going to help? It provides a link to attach concepts to. I decided to memorize the packages of the python standard library. Eventually, I believe it's clearly possible to be able to memorize at the speed of speech (250 words per min).Īt the moment, I develop software. People can memorize a deck of cards (52 facts in order) in two minutes. Now reviewing a book (250 items) takes under 15 mins, and I can do it while making dinner or driving. My first book took about 4 hours and reviewing it took an hour. Now reading is unconscious, you see a word and instantly you know the concept behind. We've all spent thousands of hours learning to read. How is the relevant to my life right now? How can I apply this? How does the world look using this knowledge as a lens? How does this compare or contrast to other things I've memorized?Īt first this was an enormous effort. When recalling you can ask yourself questions about the knowledge. ![]() If I don't practice recalling my palaces, at least once every 6 months or so, I'll forget it. Convert a book into 100-250 bullet points, memorize them in a memory palace. I used to read a book, maybe take notes and hopefully take some new action. I also wanted to get more out of reading. How could they transmit enough knowledge to survive and basically confer PhD level knowledge of survival without books? How could they remember it all? How does your experience of the world change when every place you find yourself is (mentally) chock full of (your most prized) memories? I've trained my memory over the last ~5 years.
