@@AnthonyMetivierMMM that was some article! My struggle is not that different than you describe, except my occupation is technical. In my case, it was my grandpa, whom I helped care for with his 3 children, as I lived closest.
Thank you so much for such valuable information! I’m an older actor. I have dyslexia and ADHD and the struggle is real.
Do you do stage, screen or both? I would love to see something you’ve done.
Here is location based movement notation (based on Banesh Movement notation)
1.Create mnemonic imagery for body parts (core, head, right arm and leg, left arm and leg)
2.Imaginary Stave(1 to 5 from head to toe)
3.Create mnemonic imagery for movement (1.movement itself, 2.the shape movement drew on space, 3.real life similar movement, for example, Wax on wax off in Karate Kid)
4.Mnemonic imagery for 360 Rotation (+, - plus 0 to 24 imagery)
5.vertical movement imagery (1/2, 3/4)
All it left is sandwich the movement we wish to memorize with our pre-existing images
Mark Channon really has a simple approach to learn with the memory palace
He’s latest book “Memorizing lines for actors” is proof of that
He's a great writer - and so cool that an actor knows memory techniques to the Grand Master level!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM that is really interesting actor + memory expert
As far as I understand he’s a jack of all trades
I'll have to ask him if he likes associating with the idea of being a Jack of all Trades next time we speak. I'm curious what he would say!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM would be interesting
he did lots of different things in life
And still does must be interesting
Things I find interesting and compelling from this conversation:
1. Mind maps are a wonderful tool. I already know this but I should definitely utilize it more. I could use more constraints in my life because I am left with things so open, I struggle to do things, especially being creative or learn, because there isn't a wall or a blip in the compass telling me which way I should pursue. This is one of those things where good to great open world games excel at: it may have the perception of "player's choice" but the truth is they are still constrained in such a way so that players always find something to do.
2. A lot of people are "waiting" when it comes to using memory techniques. I am definitely one of them--like I keep feeling I have to find something that is "worthwhile," whatever that means, to use the techniques. Meanwhile, I am in a weird purgatory where I want to use it and boost my mind but applications are lacking. Self-reflection and giving my mind certain constraints from day to day should be the immediate answer to "what should I use my memory for today?"
3. Memory as an act of creation. Now that's something I never thought before. I also love how Mark talks about "playing." This reminds me of when I studied physics at a university level and they love to throw you "toy problems" just so that students and even physicists know how problems can be solved.
All in all, it's a great conversation with Mark. I did read one of his books once which details the techniques. I find it interesting that he touched upon creating stories for memory, as in using the creative part, before creating the places where those memories might reside (unlike you where the first thing you teach us is the palaces themselves). Then again, there is no correct answer as long as things work. And I should say that I do create stories in order to memorize certain passwords though I did not put them in any specific memory palace.
Now that I am this far into my comment, I have been wanting to get into lucid dreaming again. I remember in the MMM Masterclass about remembering dreams but I never really checked out that section yet. Since knowing that you are dreaming is something that requires you remember certain things like doing reality checks and applying prospective memory, this could be something I would finally utilize the memory palaces that have been sitting idle and gathering dust all this time.
I find the theme of waiting to take action fascinating and need to make a research project out of why it is so common. The latest conversation with Lynne Kelly I just released about The Knowledge Gene has me even more curious about what factors might be involved.
As for dreams, this is one of my favorite memory realms. It can be incredibly insight-providing and fulfilling.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I already marked it down for the next watch!
Fantastic! Always look forward to your thoughts as time and memory allows!
Great discussion. Thanks for sharing.
🙏
Fascinating refreshing for my own efforts moving forward. Thanks as always.
🙏
Thanks as always, so refreshing to me at my advancing age, great info.
Age is a fascinating thing to watch unfold! 🔥
I really love your channel. Saturated Gratitude for your work.
🙏
Just for the irony, I asked AI to write you an ad: 😂
“Tired of forgetting where you put your keys, let alone that long list of vocabulary words? With the Magnetic Memory Method, you'll never lose your mind again-literally! Imagine turning your brain into a Memory Palace where everything from your grocery list to your grandma’s secret cookie recipe has a dedicated room. Need to recall the capital of Uzbekistan? Just take a stroll to the living room in your mind! It's like a mental house party, but instead of guests, you’ve got all your important facts hanging out, ready to chat. Say goodbye to memory mishaps and hello to the ultimate mental real estate-your brain deserves it!"
Now we know why I don’t use AI to write ads… 🤣
Wonderful Interview!
🙏 Anything you’d like to see covered in the future?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I'll have to give that some thought and look over your video list, before I make you repeat old material.
Thank you for discussing aging issues. Now there's a topic focus and memory for aging people, techniques and tips.
When I focus properly, my memory is actually quite good.
It's part aging and part burnout. When that happened, I-Literally felt a little black hole in my perception If My working brain. Thereafter, from reading a book a day, I was barely able to read a page a day, without having a sudden very strong impulse to sleep, which could not be resisted.
I've partially recovered over the past 13 years, slowly. I'm up to 10 to 20 pages at a time now, for an easy read.
Aging is on my mind a lot these days, including related factors of our time.
I just wrote this, in fact, which I might turn into a video essay at some point:
medium.com/@MagneticMemoryMethod/orwellian-memory-holing-may-be-the-least-of-our-worries-5ac95b16d5e4
But I'll probably do more of the cognitive maintenance pieces I've written on my blog over the months to come. There is so much to be said on the topic of aging and memory.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM that was some article. It seems we have some parallels. In my story, it was my grandpa, who in good final years had dementia. His 3 children and I, living the closest to, were involved with his care, until he died.
Also, in my case, in a technical occupation, that career having lasted for over 35 years. Believe me, my mind is filled with lots of info from my field. We have in the past discussed some of my reading titles.
It's been quite a ride, so far!
You hit that eating noise fr 😂
Practice makes mastication! 🤣🫠😜
To draw on the computer memory analogy, there is such a thing as Error-correction memory that detects and corrects data errors. Likewise we also do error correction but the loop closes much higher at the perception level not at the neuron level.
What is yhe belief to hold that will help one improve also when we get older? That is a good question to ponder
That is an interesting analogy to consider and how to hang on is the key question - or set of questions. 🙏
Yesss
Create a video on how to remember medical books
Which aspect of medicine?
new to the channel , i wanna learn more about how to improve my memory , where is the best place to start, aka video/s?
Are there particular types of information you want to remember?
If so, that can help determine the best path.
I've been functions checking my memory and attention lately. I've been doing it for about two or three weeks now. I keep a record on a white board and copy it down in a notebook to put in the mind lab files.
That's great. Any specific protocol for how you're testing?
@AnthonyMetivierMMM I get up in the morning and soon as I start the coffee pot, I start my memory routine. The deck of cards are right next to my coffee pot. I go through the times tables and also some MMM card memory skills. This week I added writing everything on the refrigerator and also holding three cards in my memory and testing at odd hours. It's an n=1 experiment with some loose variables lol
That's excellent and those seem like excellent variables to include!
@AnthonyMetivierMMM Just got home from a stress filled shift and remembered two out of three cards. I also used your anxiety reducing memory wheel. Along with some mild anxiety meds, I'll use the wheel to help me calm down and go to sleep.
@AnthonyMetivierMMM I didn't mention my addition of rosemary oil to my coffee routine. I have zero proof for the aromatherapy benefit of rosemary on the memory. Attaching a smell to remember something works though. KAVE COGS everything.
Where is the best place to send you a private message? I tried looking for places to reach out but had no success. 😊
Email or via the contact page on my site.
36:19, I havent finished the video yet, but whats the 4-6 weeks hurdle he's talking about ?
I believe he means the initial period of learning comprehensive mnemonic technique. It could .be shorter or longer depending on the learner’s study ethic.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM The number systems I got in a couple weeks, probably 4-6 weeks to get to my first deck of cards, and then it's taken me 3+ months to get comfortable with language learning (I think you say something along the lines of trying things for minimum of 3 months before giving up?). Anyway, I'm at about 1000 Spanish words now, thanks to you!
That's great news!
Just to clarify:
What I mean to say is a minimum of three months before evaluating/judging the value of a proven practice as an individual. I don't believe I've ever said anything about giving up - quite the opposite.
There's further nuance to be explored, and perhaps that will come up in a future video.
In the meantime, congrats again and keep on rockin'! Pura vida!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM clearly, I didn't store your exact words in my memory palace hahaha!
I haven't memorized Metivier's Razor in the exact order that I originally put it out myself. But you clearly understood the heart of the argument and made it work, and that is what matters. Bravo again!
