So I am finally deciding to make my own memory journal inspired by all the other awesome training journals in this forum.
I am 23 and right now I’m in year 1/year 2 business classes since I had to redo some year 1 classes. I have little experience in memory techniques apart from reading about them in Moonwalking with Einstein on this forum and on youtube so I would consider myself a beginner.
Goals:
To sleep and wake up at regular times and stop staying up reading or watching things for fun. Sleep at 11-11:30pm and wake up at 8 am
To meditate 10 minutes a day
To learn to use memory techniques well enough to improve my studying and make studying more interesting by studying memory techniques 1 hour per day
Read textbooks and study classwork every day minimum 2 hours
Another goal I have is to start doing photography, drawing , videography, or some kind of content creating/art on my own but right now I’m not sure about that yet and I think I should probably focus on getting a half decent routine first. Since I’m in a photography club I’ll prioritize that right now.
uninstall social networks, because when you have the temptation before you on a daily basis it becomes more difficult to avoid it.
set 3 important goals for the next day, this forces you to pay attention to what you do and think more about it.
mix with people with the same interests as you, so that they help you to build yourself, they can also be old characters like philosophers, mathematicians, etc., for example euler is one of the mathematicians that I admire the most for his intense work.
Take breaks but avoid social networks, why avoid them? because they saturate your mind with unnecessary, distracting and addictive information, the brain cannot pay attention to everything, it needs to filter the important from the unimportant.
Take real breaks such as going out for fresh air, exercise, drawing, etc., you can list these types of activities to replace the previous ones (you must have some kind of initial commitment and a certain level of awareness, the brain will play you to return to what it considers efficient which is not the change for the brain).
These are some of the things I have learned, but I advise you to keep a personal diary, where you treat yourself as a patient who you observe and take notes of his behaviors.
