barcode's journey to mnemonics

Hey Barcode, I understand your plight mate. I make use of memory techniques exclusively in my studies and work and I’d gladly help you out if you need any help.

Make no mistake: This forum is alive.

But I’m really tired of answering this type of questions. Those people who make these queries are not here to connect with others or contribute and share ideas to help others. They just come here and want us to give them a specific method to learn this or that type of subject. They think that they’ll get a quick fix guide to help them memorize, without any efforts on their part. They don’t even take their time to search or go through old posts to see whether their queries have been answered.

And when I do explain the methods and techniques I use for my studies and that there are work behind them, they just disappear and don’t ever come back here.

If you go through the introductions, you’ll find most posts are like that.

I don’t think it is worth my time to waste 10 mins, write a detailed post and then have the person disappear, without even a “Thank You”.

Here is one example:

If you are really interested, then I’d love to help you out and share any techniques I know with you. Keep in mind though that there is some work behind them.
