How I Developed A Photographic Memory

[@ScholarlyCynic]

This system works fine but you can also just develop a strong memory without having to write notes. If you want to start having a super memory. At night when your laying in your bed try to recall everything throughout your day, and I mean EVERYTHING. At first you may only be able to get a small outline of your day, or maybe just a series of events. However, in time you will start to remember exact conversations or exact words you have read. I promise you that you will not regret trying this.

[@3choblast3r4]

My friend most people do this. It's called having an existential crisis in bed over the things you said and did that day that were probably completely fine.. but why did that girl not laugh at that one joke though? Why did that person say that one thing in that weird tone, and why didn't you say something wittier in return? etc etc ... this is literally most of us in bed until we learn not to give a fk. Which is not an easy task

[@nitamunevar9863]

@@3choblast3r4 remembering embarrassing or otherwise significant tidbits is not the same thing. Because yes, everyone does that. But what we don’t do is think about the millions of monotonous or simple things like what time we brushed our teeth, what time, and what we were thinking about.

[@lostboy6403]

i agree with you actually. for over 3 years ive been going to bed right after looking at my phone and checking my social media, so i havent had time to actually think about my day, think about the people in my day. I have this friend who isnt allowed to have social media till college and he remembers so many small details and when i asked him how he does that, he told me to go to bed while replaying the entire day in my head. Not obssess over small details, but instead remember more information.

[@jokertarian]

Thank you Rizzard Nixon, very cool.

[@illideicmane2677]

It helps me as well, especially I do it because it helps me remember dreams better and better, journaling didn't help me like this method helps me, but problem is that I study a lot in my computer so it means at the end of day it will be hard to remember anything because, It is like remembering big black whole in my day when I all day was in my laptop or phone 😭.

[@byrdma12]

A supervisor where I worked had a superb memory. I figured out how she did it. She would go over in her mind any important conversations, meetings and occurences that happened that day. She would think about every word and action. If she could not recall something said in a meeting, she would ask someone about it. She was truly amazing. She could recall the previous year ending process line by line, job by job, every person that was involved. If company news was in the paper or sent out in a memo, she would read and then read again. She would dissect every sentence, she would read between the lines, ask someone else to read it and compare comprehension. She was a legend in the company. I miss her. She passed away after retirement.

**THE SYSTEM** 3 rules: simplicity, personal connection, benefit from human specific memory biases 3 key concepts: information, translation and representation. How it works: 1. Grab an index card 2. Title it with what you want to remember 3. Fill the card with info about the subject. Make it sound personal and VERY informal 4. Write your own connection (or personal example) to the info 5. Draw a pic (should be visualized)

[@ZeusTalks]

Little Question, would it work on a handwriting notes app with the apple pencil, or would that be to much of a digital system?

[@HeritageDrPepper]

​@@ZeusTalks As far as I've gathered with all these memory videos, it's really just about the process of physically taking the time to write everything out instead of typing. Whether you're writing it out on a digital apparatus or paper, at that point, shouldn't matter because it's simply about the physicality of it. That being said, I haven't seen anyone mention whether the eyes/brain responds differently to digital stimuli vs paper when it comes to learning and memorization considering digital screens produce an eye strain unique to screens. Perhaps that's where you would need to go to reach a definitive conclusion. But it might also be highly individualized. If you read a non-fiction book on kindle vs as a physical paper book, do you find one easier to understand and remember than the other? Another thing to consider is what's doable for you. If you can't or don't want to use paper notes and are therefore unlikely to use this method just because someone said you can only use paper then I'd say just go for digital. Doing this at all will be better than not. Also note that it doesn't have to be index cards. No school ever said "index cards, only". As long as you know how to section and utilize the paper properly, you should be fine with notebooks. Divide a page into three rows and you've got 6 "index cards" (back and front). That type of thinking. As long as you're condensing roughly to the same idea and not trying to write an essay on it lol.

When I was younger, my teacher would write lessons on the blackboard and tell us to write everything down on our notebooks, and I remember, everyday I would waste the entire class talking to others, or drowning myself in my imagination (I used to, and still do, create lots of histories in my head where I was the hero, or histories envolving the girl I liked back then), and after the class was over, I was able to just write everything down, from my memory, I had a real photographic memory, I could remember what was written in the blackboard word by word, my colleagues would just stare at me when I started writing everything from memory, and would compare what they have written with mine, good old times, now my memory has decayed a bit, I still can do it but with less precision, but my memory is not even close to being bad, I ace exams, I learn languages pretty easily, and learn other things with only my empirical observation... But to keep a good memory you should exercise it everyday, like a muscle, and when it's tired give it some rest, but never stop learning... ❤

One hypothesis I have, is that since I was child my brain was stimulated a lot more than other people's, I always observed people, imitated them, liked to play lots of puzzles, liked math, even when I was pre school I always got perfect grades, because I was stimulating my brain too much, and I was even considered awkward and nerd sometimes, I am not up to date in science of learning, but I think this premature stimulation made my memory increase a lot, and I can even prove that with my own personal experience, before I learned a second language, my memory was worse than it is after I did it, just by learning it my memory increased a lot and I remember things much better, it kinda became a habit for me to never stop learning, this is what made my memory to be so good...

I can also remember what I see.

I finally I can remember it. When I am delivering that information I can see the Pic of that information in my mind. In this way I can remember the information with other additional information like how it is written or in which section or position it was written. It help me alot in my exams. 😇

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Especially useful for open book exams, or quick retrieval when needed: "I don't remember exactly what it said, but I remember it was on a left-hand side page in the book, about 1/3 into the page count, 20% down the page, give or take, and I will recognise the page when flipping through the book because I remember the layout of paragraphs (and illustrations where applicable) on the page". Also used it often when reading novels, where chapters later they refer back to something that was said earlier, but you forgot the exact phrasing, and now the plot hinges on it.

[@j-o-s-h]

The video explains that our brains naturally decide what information to store and what to discard based on its value, relation, and repetition. The speaker created a memory system that works with the natural functions of the brain, taking into account memory biases and using the Zettelkasten method to create interconnected notes. The system involves translating information into the real world on paper, representing it in a personalized way, and using repetition and emotion to make it valuable. The goal is to remember what we deem important, not just every little detail of perception. The system enables the speaker to remember everything he learns without exception.

Hi, I am a fellow paper note investigator here in Germany not 1h from Bielefeld where Luhmann lived (not important fact - but now you will remember...) I love this video because: - it asks the question why paper increases learning and remembering - even in an always online world - it takes a good example like Luhmanns Zettelkasten and adapts it to your own style. - it supports life long learning (in the sense of remembering) Some thing that I would add: - The best method of learning is (partly) based on your personal way of doing things - e.g. visual / haptic / audio? - to evaluate your way you need time and energy and resilience to restart/ repeat - sometimes it is better to follow your own intuition and not the masses (that's what Luhmann did - in my opinion) Feel free to ask for more details if you are interested.

First, LOVE this video. The approach seems very logical and well-explained, not to mention, he's speaking from experience and offers different possible uses and personal adjustments. Second, this comment is largely for my own record-keeping purposes, but I'll make a quick note soon enough for those interested in the results I get from this. Here's MY deal: I'm an undergrad engineering student in my second year. Since starting undergrad, I've encountered a lot more challenges when it comes to learning new information/concepts efficiently, *fully* remembering images in my mind, and remembering things in a structured way that's conducive to quick problem-solving. I find that I recall things I've learned decently well in the long-term. In a few words, I learn things well, but slow, and I often work things out slow as well with pesky memory gaps. senioritis I've recently realized/confirmed that in order for me to learn things well, in the way I'm used to, it takes me far more time that I does my peers. I don't learn so well in classes anymore which means I have to spend more time both teaching myself AND studying outside of my scheduled classes. One of my greatest frustrations has been remembering barely enough on exams, so I'm doing research to see what I can do about learning efficiently and remembering better in the short- and long-term. So, I'll try this out and report back in a few weeks/months about how it worked out for me (in addition to some other mindfulness practices like meditation).

[@dhuskins]

I have used the card method in the past. As you point out, it works better than cut-n-pasting text into a digital file, partly because the act of writing it helps plant it in the memory. The trick I used was: every card had a number based on the date first written and the sequence of that day. Every card also had at least one other number (often 2-5 numbers) which were the card numbers of other cards previously written that had something in common with the new card. Linking the cards in this way creates a mental connection between the two thoughts and binds them more firmly in the memory.

You can do it alone or play it with a friend(found playing it with a friend more affective.) if alone: you basically take a look around the room you are in then close your eyes and try to recreate it in vivid detail: wall colors? floor type? doors? windows? what furniture? wall art? are there words anywhere, what are they? what is the order of the books on the book shelf? other knickknacks? are there other people? what clothes are they wearing? hats? accessories? what does their face look like? If you play with a friend: they look around the room and ask you questions, if you play regularly you can pop quiz each other at random times. "what is the color of the shirt of the person by the window?" "what is the 3rd book from the left on the top shelf?" what did the sign across the street outside say?" improves not only memory but also general awareness and mental flexibility

I am a student right now so having a great memory will help me a lot. Will try this method soon. By the way, you've earned a sub mate.

[@blindguymcsqueezy50]

I realised that I use the same 'understand and regurgitate in notes in your own way' method. The only thing is that I do it on my iphone notes. I used to write in notebooks but there is something about the non-uniform look that comes with handwriting that makes reading the information a task in it self. I have found that meticulously typed notes in your own words, under sub headings makes it 100 times easier for me. For eg: I made a note called "videography"... and there are subheadings for lighting, composition, storytelling, gear etc... and whatever knowledge I come across regarding any of the subheadings, I keep adding under that sub-heading. The result is a rich, portable and ever expanding body of notes on a particular subject that has a neat look and can be edited in the future without creating a mess. This was an excellent video bro. loved it.

6 months ago my life had reached its darkest point. Upon nearly giving up meditation was put in my head. I went home and the next day I did “Structure of the Universe” by Dr. Steven Greer. It was a 30 minute meditation and it changed my life. Since that point I have been studying esoteric knowledge and have became interested in math, philosophy, and consciousness which I was not interested in before. I have even read a book for the first time in nearly 10 years which was done on my own accord and not because of schooling. It was Samadhi by Ivan Antic. I have also watched videos and have learned about the chakras. I have short term memory loss (as well as hearing loss, and difficulty in expressing what I am trying to convey) from an illness as a child that nearly took my life. Since my spiritual awakening my memory has substantially improved. I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!

[@tomcha75]

Ordered and got 500 index cards to try this. While waiting, it occurred to me that I can categorize them into large chunks (e.g., personal, work, hobby, baking, etc...), then keep breaking them down in a hierarchy with each page having its own unique number. Then when I am making notes, I can annotate with the page number on the back for reference and end up essentially with a personal wikipedia. Pretty cool idea.

[@State-Of-Mind]

ayy that's so dope!

[@SimonTyler_humanfly]

When I'm studying, I tend to review the material, and try to reword it as a question. Then I write a numbered list of all of the questions down on one piece of paper, and i write the answers in a numbered list on a second piece of paper. Then I quiz myself: I sit down with the questions, and I try to write down the answers from memory and check my work. I make a new quiz, containing a list of the questions I couldn't answer. Repeat until I approach 100% recall. I imagined it was more effective if I wrote it out, instead of typing it out. I think your system would also work very well for me. I'm imagining using your system to record the information as i study. Then reviewing the cards, and making a second set of cards: the questions: one card for each question. Use the question cards like flash cards. When you quiz yourself, you can remove the question cards, when you get the answer correctly. This process ensures that you're consistently focusing on the information, which you find most difficult to remember. I think this is a combination of the flash card study method, and your method. I've just purchased a set of index cards, I'm going to try this when I study going forward.

'When the student is ready, the master appears'. I have been putting together a speed learning system in the last couple weeks. There are many memory hacks out there. Your system fits into my personality as I take dozens of notes daily. I was drowning in loose papers. I have used the index card method before. Recently I have been carrying a journal with me. I will use the journal page instead of the notecards as I either misplace or loose cards prior to getting them back to my desk. This is just me. I subscribed, will follow your channel and share your it. Respect!

[@leofaegen]

Very inspiring how you've grown! The video itself is very unforgettable. Keep it up !

[@Mark-sc4bu]

I think you've developed a great system - but it's not 'photographic' in the truest meaning of 'photographic memory', unless I've missed something important in the video. You are rewriting and interpreting information so that your brain can retain it in a way that is useful to you, i.e., creating memory hooks that trigger links to specific information. Someone with a photographic memory does not need to do this. But that does not detract from the fact that you have spent time and worked on this system and turned it into an effective skill. Huge kudos to you for developing and sharing this; I found it really useful.

[@GregtheGrey6969]

It turns into photographic memory after years of practice. I'm 49...I do it all in my head these daze lol

[@batlin]

Agreed. Years of research has uncovered nobody who can demonstrate a photographic memory. So the idea of a photograph memory is (unfortunately) certainly a myth, and anyone who claims to have one is lying or doesn't really understand what it is.

[@microbear4245]

I've actually heard a lecture abt a similar method, although they involved short-forming the words and keypoints you want to remember. I didn't really like that method, also I didn't get WHY exactly we have to draw pictures and make things informal like that. But after watching your video, i finally understand. The way you made sure the points are rly clear is super cool, love your content!

[@mvdrider]

Thanks, excellent video. I have realized memory is directly dependent on attention. I never forget anything I put attention to, it’s like once you have the habit of attention to anything, there are many ways in which we can recreate the context we put attention to, weather we can recreate the context with notes and drawings as you mentioned here but with imagined stories and landscapes in our brains. When I was in high school I started taking notes just with drawings and really minimal specific notes, it was like your card but I included more drawings than notes, and I was able to present every single essay in front of the class without reading any note but just taking a look at the drawings maybe three times in 15 minutes.

With the Zettelkasten, Luhmann used to put his notes in his slip-up boxes which were organized according to themes. So, when he wanted to learn about a specific topic he would have notes from a lot of places on that topic. With your system, how do you connect your ideas? Say you want to find a note related to personal finance, how do you go about finding it?

[@Tierrittaa]

I was thinking the same thing

[@vaibhav0276]

@@Tierrittaa same question ❓

[@numbernumber25]

I suppose he would do the same thing, I mean all that is needed is to organize by themes and catalog the notes, by that I mean putting the cards into boxes that follow a theme or subject with each card being placed in a specific spot according to just numbering the cards. So he could have a notebook paper/digital where each page is titled with a theme and below it would contain the title of the card and a unique number. So whenever he needs to look up something like about plants, he could look into the biology page. The title of the card will provide him on context of the card while the number gives him a way to ID the card faster. So after that he goes over to the box with biology cards and finds the card by whatever number listed next to card.

[@nitamunevar9863]

Just organize them in a similar manner/whatever works for you depending on your space and how many cards you build up

[@leounlimited712]

You method is more of a Studying system. Because during the process of simplifying notes, you are going thru the memorization process internally. The simplifying and creating connection to yourself is the process of understanding the content deeply thus creating better recall. Just this part will vary from people to people, which also depends on How much they want to know the topic But when you take a memory technique like Memory palace. it works straight out of the box. You don't have to "Like" or 'simplify' or 'want' to study the topic. The efficiency of this will not vary. As someone with experience with Memory Palace technique for over 15 yrs... The biggest Pro is that you can memorize ANYTHING or EVERYTHING. The Content connection with yourself (in your video) this happens automatically over a period of time depending on if you use the content or not. And the best part is memorization is very long term. From my own Experience of memorizing randomly generated string of numbers, I was able to recall it 90% after 40 days (without a single recall or practice during this time). So thats why I think that instead of calling your method is memory system, it's a better to be called a studying system. of course as you use your system and improve it, it'll be better for you.

It's basically you attach a picture of information onto existing objects (like objects in your dining room). That part is easy. For others you can youtube specifically on the topic i.e. How to memorize chemistry with memory palace or how to learn new language with memory palace. Watch couple of videos and it'll be enough to get started in next 30-40 minutes.
