I’ve kinda gotten into the habit of reliving between ten and thirty memories every day.
Added another page to my personal dictionary, this time in Latin dialects.
Mixing and matching language options on streaming services.
Added a list of lojban words to my personal dictionary.
Spent some time flashcarding flags.

“Practised” photographic memory with actual photos.
The trick with the Henner method is not to overwhelm yourself.
So I gradually relive more, but only a little at a time.

I’ll try to update at least once a month.
The only habit I’ve really stuck with is autobiographical recall. It’s improved my life in some ways.
Reading “Quantum Memory” by Dominic O’Brien.

Forgot to update once a month.
Might be better to focus on one goal per year. Just not sure I have the patience.
Guess that makes this the Hennerian year. 2025 might be for zettelkasten, if I don’t change my mind before New Year’s.

@Magno The atomic notes looks excellent in a software like that. I have downloaded Obsidian and wondering if there are any limitation or slow downs in performance if one would keep adding cards and creating a large volume?

For 2025 I have set myself the tiny goal of creating one zettel every day.
Redux one memorable sentence every day.
Make a golden dozen list every week.

January update.
-I have missed five zettel-days out of twenty-seven. I consider that acceptable.
-Slacked off on the redux goal after making about ten in a few days early on. Will remedy.
-Made three Golden Dozen lists out of four.

February update.
-Due to illness and circumstances, I have made few zettels this month.
-Made only two golden dozen lists this month.
-I may have given up on reduxing, at least for now. Maybe I will find it more productive in the future.
Mars-June update
Been a while. Haven’t made more zettelen than that one pile. Made a lot of list notes and mini-essays, though. Hard to measure how your knowledge grows without tests, which just take too long to make to do it regularly. I remember stuff I don’t consider worth remembering.

This might be my last update in a while. Just here to mention that I love the Henner method. Reliving things can be great when you choose it. Actually zetteled a short book I wanted to memorize. It’s just main points/quotes I like, but it helps and it works.

July update.
Seems I can stilll access the site.
I have made no zettelen in a long time. Made several golden dozen lists earlier in the year and revisit them occasionally.

Henner method lets me relive things and process them. That’s good.
Palace method is mostly for remembering terms and vocabulary for me. They say if you master the field’s vocabulary, you master the field. Could be some truth to that.
Zettels go in a notebook for now.
September update
Using Reliving for a lot of if not most memorizing.
I do take atomic notes, just not on cards.
Left my personal dictionary alone for a while. Thinking about restarting it now.
October update
It does not take years.
My zettels are mostly post-its nowadays.
The Michel Thomas method has pros and cons.

Another October update
- After realizing I find it easier to remember the dates of things that happened on the birthday of someone I know, I decided to memorize more birthdays so I can associate them to historical events. So far I still forget about half.

Second november update.
Zettled the Iroha, that is, the Japanese pangram poem. It quite helps with learning the katakana and hiragana.
Zettled some foreign-language sentences as well.
