PMemory Lesson 5
Today I did the School of Phenomenal Memory Lesson 5. The first part of the lesson has a total of 75 images. The 75 images are memorized using a combination of many of the techniques taught in the prior lessons. I was completely amazed as it took me 43 minutes to memorize the entire list. When I tested my list I discovered I skipped one image during the memorization steps. So, I didn’t really forget it…I just overlooked it while memorizing the images.
The rest of the lesson adds 10 more numbers and their corresponding figurative codes. There is also a list of 20 things that don’t have an object that quickly identifies them. This is one my most difficult parts. I find it challenging to come up with an image for something that isn’t really an image. But I flew through that part and only missed one.
Again, I think the key to this is going through the lessons at a fast pace. Focus on the lessons. Don’t get stuck trying to come up with the perfect image. If you can’t come up with an image quickly have Google images open in a new window and just go with one of those.
I am gaining a lot of confidence in my memory now. This course is really starting to amaze me. Like many people I was hesitant to buy an online memorization course. Seriously, if you watch the videos of Ruslan and think “I bet he is faking that somehow.” You will discover after lesson 1 that this has potential. I am only at lesson 5 of 59 lessons and I feel this is worth the time, energy and money.
If you are hesitating to try this course and want to talk with a student. Just let me know and we can find a way to talk.
Memory Course – I am going to remember to do it
Not long ago, I signed up for a memory course. I wanted to learn some tips for memorization. Primarily I wanted to remember peoples names. Of course, as I started looking around I was overwhelmed with small tips and tricks, pages of theory, and everyone’s expert opinion.
After a few weeks of randomly trying several techniques on various web sites I saw I tiny bit of progress. Well, actually I saw that the techniques could work, but really no significant progress.
The course I actually chose to sign up for has a 59 lesson plan. Each lesson is one or two hours long.
The first lesson actually amazed me. I was able to memorize 3 different lists of 25 objects in a matter of minutes. I really shocked myself! I was super motivated and started the next three lessons. Then life took over and I stopped.
Well, I am deciding today that I will start over and do at least 5 lessons a week for the next several weeks. I’ll write a short entry for each lesson and give you my honest opinion. As you can tell I have high expectations, but I would be happy to just remember a bit better.
OK – on to lesson 1….
