Do you have a simpler list. Thanks, Phil Hi John,

I have checked that list in “Use your memory” but many of those words I
can’t understand and can’t remember easily. Do you have a simpler list.

Thanks,
Phil

I love your movies Damien, but sadly I can't begin to work out how I'd apply it. Bullet pointing works for me too - and then when I have to reproduce it I brainstorm it then sort it back out into headings, topic sentences and bullet point the content of them. And then I force all my students to do that too, if they won't work out what works for them :) Most imprtant, I need to be writing, to write it down, watch the word spill out from the pen, that solidifies them in my head. I love the picture ideas though, the furniture and the pictures on the wall. This is fascinating. I love your movies Damien, but sadly I can’t begin to work out how I’d apply it.

I'm extremely lucky (and it is luck) that I've always had an great memory. It gives you a great advantage when you're considering all the angles to make a decision. The more of the "picture" you can see the better your deceision will be. I've tried the cramming method with bullet points etc. for exams and it works but only lasts for a day for me. I need the story, and even better if I tell the story to someone else it'll be imprinted for ever. Isn't the human imagination amazing? @Damien I remember stuff visually like you.

So ..... I did a course in speed reading and memory techniques with Sean M. Kelly http://mind333.wordpress.com/ his main TLD seems not to be working, but the blog is good. Taught me quite a lot. I found speed reading effective after practice. Memory pegs too, but my main success rates were with mind maps. Sean was a champ memory man. As you know I am about to finish the BL course and the amount of legislation, cases, times, orders etc can be daunting. Use of left and right brain in tandem is most useful and affective.

I'm like Johnny Mneumonic, I can carry nearly eighty gigs of data in my head :) I'm a visual tinker mostly, I mean thinker! I think way too much and have an excellent photographic memory. If I'm studying or reading something, I visualise that page in my head, sometimes I may read it aloud. I am, therefore I think really! Do you think because you write? or write because you think? :)

My main technique is to take a mind-photo of the page im studying for a few moments and keep different sections apart. That way when remembering I can picture the page and then remember the content of that section. I also use the abbrev technique whereby for bullit points i form a story or saying. Then i have the initial of each bullit point and this helps remember. Finally, I read something, lie back and visualise it in a diagram or flowchart form. If certain things dont flow, I make them.
