ADHD and Memory Palaces

Hello,

I hope you lot are learning a LOT.

I wanted to share my experience being diagnosed with ADHD and not knowing it until now.

I am skeptic as one should know all the perils of marketing and global access to internet. I noticed folks out there claiming to memorise hundreds of thousands of items. (Dr. Lev Goldentouch) others memorising 10 constitutions in under 3 minutes. Basically a page of info or 3/4 of a page.

I am about to start memorising too using loci but I have done this before and it was painful.

For instance I struggle with reviewing the info from mid to long term. I hate when revision accumulates.

I would like to know if one can basically turn an unfocused mind into a machine ready to absorb information like some claim. Allegedly memorising dictionaries or 23,000 words in days(Ramon Campayo). I mean what in the world?

Thank you for reading this.

Cheers.
