I totally agree with the tips here and I constantly schedule my most brain intensive tasks in the first part of the day. It makes me go through them really fast and with good results.

On the other hand, there is something to be said about your unconscious mind too. You can solve problems there too, in my experience. Pushing some of your ideas into your unconscious mind (self-hypnosis techniques, for instance) can also free some of your conscious brain resources. I’ve done it in the past and I still do it. Maybe if you have more info on that you could write on this topic too, I’ll be interested for sure.

i happen to have had a fairly lusty affair with the whole memory business.

studied it at length and beyond all the cool tricks (ala memory palace, the “major system” to remember 100 digit numbers, and the whole fun of it with colourful pictures and more colourful linkages between ‘em), beyond all that – i think it’s come down to knowing that it’s possible for you to remember things.

i used to use a bunch of mnemonics and from having done it over and over again, having done really well in exams to the point where i now study what everyone calls one of the “most difficult degrees at university”, i’ve shown myself that it’s possible to remember things.

but that’s the hard part

haha

awesomeness
gave it a stumble too

hope all’s well mate.
