Master the Memory Palace, and then use all the other memory techniques inside of Memory Palaces to harness the power of sequentialization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And to do this well, to tailor your practice with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/linear-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">making information linear<\/a> so you can memorize it, you must have a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u201cA goal without a plan is just a wish\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Atoine de Saint-Exupery<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Whether you\u2019re a culinary wizard or a novice baker who struggles to make box brownies for their child\u2019s school bake sale fundraiser, one thing you know if you\u2019ve ever been in a kitchen (and who can live on take-out alone these days, right?) is you must have a plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Think about it:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You cannot go into the kitchen to make beef bourguignon with only 30 minutes to get dinner on the table, and you wouldn\u2019t dream of trying to craft the perfect macaron without eggs or sugar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You must have a plan\u2026or in the culinary world, a recipe to achieve your end\u00a0result, and a good plan takes organization. Kind of like my wife and I had a plan when we made these memory-friendly pancakes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How To Make Memory Friendly Chocolate Pancakes With Cacao Powder\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kbv06gmm8S4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This level of organization is what we teach in the Magnetic Memory Method, to organize your mind with a Memory Palace, so that when you sit down to memorize you can do it in an organized manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Remember the musicians we talked about earlier? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They wouldn\u2019t simply\u00a0sit down behind a music stand with a piece out of order and attempt to play it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">No, in order\u00a0to practice effectively, to make the most of their time, they would make sure their sheet music was in the right order. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They would make sure they were warmed up properly, and their instrument was at its peak playability (i.e. they were in tune, all valves were clear, and they had a fresh reed or strings, given their instrument of choice).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your Next Step With Memory Techniques For Studying Well<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In a word, you need <i>commitment<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are more components to practice than simply\u00a0setting a goal and getting organized. There is the greatest element of practice of all: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is where the idea of\u00a0improvement comes into play, and the idea of\u00a0flow that\u00a0we discussed up above. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In order to improve, to achieve that state of stillness, of awakening, and of peace as skillful individuals, we must show up and put in the work, <b>consistently<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Yes, you must be committed to mastering your habit to see results. In that way our outcomes are linked to practice and our practice to our outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Again, the greatest thing we can do to achieve our goals is show up, and show up consistently. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, every morning before my wife wakes up I practice my memory training. Today my goal after working some\u00a0Sanskrit into memory was to memorize a selection from a deck of cards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As I mentioned the morning I recorded this live stream, I got through memorizing only four cards:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Importance of Practice In Memory Training With A Memory Palace Technique\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hoGlc5ZgqZU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Granted, that\u2019s a low number for me in my practice, but my time was limited. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even so, l made the time to practice. I exercised the discipline needed to sharpen my skills, and you can do the same, even if it amounts to only minutes a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>But I \u201cCan\u2019t\u2026\u201d The Ultimate Memory Training Excuse And How To Eliminate It<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You may feel like\u00a0you don\u2019t have the time, the energy, or the willpower\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You might be frustrated because you feel like your memory work has stalled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You may be comparing yourself to those that have achieved the goals you aspire to, or who simply\u00a0seem to \u201cget it\u201d more easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-13746\" src=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happiness-Beyond-Thought-By-Gary-Weber-Book-Cover-for-blog-post-on-memory-training-practice-habits.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&ssl=1\" alt=\"Happiness Beyond Thought By Gary Weber Book Cover for blog post on memory training practice habits\" width=\"403\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happiness-Beyond-Thought-By-Gary-Weber-Book-Cover-for-blog-post-on-memory-training-practice-habits.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 403w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happiness-Beyond-Thought-By-Gary-Weber-Book-Cover-for-blog-post-on-memory-training-practice-habits-150x150.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happiness-Beyond-Thought-By-Gary-Weber-Book-Cover-for-blog-post-on-memory-training-practice-habits-300x300.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happiness-Beyond-Thought-By-Gary-Weber-Book-Cover-for-blog-post-on-memory-training-practice-habits-60x60.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Happiness-Beyond-Thought-By-Gary-Weber-Book-Cover-for-blog-post-on-memory-training-practice-habits.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=241&amp;ssl=1 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Stop. Just stop and breathe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And then consider learning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/tony-buzan-mind-map-mastery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mind map<\/a> and explore how you can commit to practicing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">improve your memory<\/a> for large learning goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Finding commitment is important because the most empowering key to Gary Weber\u2019s idea of practice is finding resources inside yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Weber writes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">\u201cInsisting that\u00a0you follow precisely the path that worked for your teacher is guaranteed to be inadequate\u00a0in some way. Any student, no matter how diligent and well-prepared, is going to be different from the teacher in conditioning, experience, age, genetics, family history, bodily and mental capability, etc. How could something as complex and comprehensive as awakening not be a personally tailored process?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That\u2019s a solid point, and it\u2019s why I\u2019ve always talked about the Magnetic Memory Method as a \u201cmethod,\u201d not a system, because I already know this truth: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You cannot simply\u00a0adopt someone else\u2019s system. Rather, you need to create your own, because everyone\u2019s needs are different. My goals are not your goals. My learning style is not your style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Notice also the word \u201cprecisely\u201d in this quote from Gary Weber. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Weber doesn\u2019t mean that you don\u2019t follow the path of your teacher at all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead, you must avoid the fantasy, the hoping, wishing, and praying, that anything will play out exactly as it did for your teacher. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To try and recreate anything \u201cprecisely\u201d is the trap of expectation. And expectation <strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">always<\/span><\/em><\/strong> leads to suffering. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But rest assured that\u00a0you really can follow in the footsteps of teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gary Weber talks about how he has done this himself and there\u2019s truth to that old phrase about <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">standing on the shoulders of giants<\/a>, which is even older than Isaac Newton. In many cases, it\u2019s the only way we get to see beyond ourselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And using the teachings of Giordano Bruno and many others as my own guide, please use the Magnetic Memory Method as it was intended to be. Speaking of Bruno, The Art of Memory is a series I think you&#8217;ll want to follow:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Art of Memory: Giordano Bruno, Frances Yates, The Hermetic Tradition and The Memory Palace Technique\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLkZ2FGJhR5R9njWtWwRrkZKaq8j7OjDL3\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Understand that this art of memory is more than a technique. It is a series of tools for your utility belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each tool needs practice if you are going to reach your memory goals. And as someone who used this utility belt to earn my Ph.D. and learned languages, I crafted the approach I now share with thousands of people around the world with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-study-fast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studying<\/a> for such learning projects in mind. Just like the ancients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With practice, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/learning-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">achieve any learning goal<\/a>. Along the way, you can also achieve the inner stillness that comes with mastery or your mind and memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It just takes practice, discipline and the right teacher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Get all that together and you too can be a &#8220;Mnemonic Batman.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memory techniques for studying are common.
