Hello memory community!

I really want to know your opinion.
I struggle so much at reading my lecture slides/corresponding textbooks and the general opinion is that;

“Use SQ3Rs”

SQ3Rs

But, I have problem way before this step.
Without enough anxiety or stimuli, I can’t start doing what I should do. The general reply to this seems to chunk the material into small steps making the very first step un-avoidable. Yet, this either doesn’t work very well to me or I’m doing this wrong.

I’m thinking of creating a way to store certain questions in a memory palace I can access. That in any given topic I walk there, extract questions, write them down or any branching off them and then I have a lead to activate SQ3Rs and I don’t need to chop ‘Big task’ but I only need to chop ‘Titles’ of any given topic to questions.

What do you think?
I saw here an interesting way of using memory palaces, it is
This comment. The author creates a loci for complete personas to help them brainstorm.

And so, I wonder, what do you suggest?

Hi. I speak Spanish and don’t understand well. From what I understand you don’t have motivation to start that method. In my opinion that methods like spr3 or something are not for all people. Are too mechanic. I don’t use it. But changing some things you can use it. Like what you say about using mnemonics. I think that using more things is better. Personal Explanations. Draws. schemes. Synthesis. Etc. Not only the rigid method. Is my opinion only.
