Learning 😌 I started indexing the lists of mnemonic substitutes in my new sources. I worked from Mnemonic Techniques by Hoff and Remember It! by Dellis. Early on I tried entering the lists themselves, but that took too much time … Continue reading

Weeknote for 3/31/2024
Learning 🙂 Douglas Hoff recommends Nelson Dellis’s Remember It! as a first book on memory techniques, and I’d say it’s a good choice. My top choice is still Kenneth Higbee’s Your Memory: How It Works and How to Improve It. … Continue reading

Weeknote for 3/24/2024
Learning 😎 Memory Techniques by Douglas Hoff is the book I’ll work through first when I’m designing my own system. I might not recommend it as a first book on memorizing, but it’s an intensive survey of the many techniques … Continue reading
Weeknote for 3/10/2024

Life maintenance 😐 I spent last week getting through regular and freelance work. Somehow that seemed to take up all my time, other than naps and miscellaneous tasks. I have a new Remicade schedule. After my upcoming infusion, I’ll do … Continue reading
Weeknote for 5/17/2020
Learning 🙂 Feeling good about failure. Last week completed the first sprint of my project to algorithmically generate a dictionary of mnemonic substitutes to help in memorizing, a lot like the ones in this thread. My aim in this sprint … Continue reading

Weeknote for 3/15/2020

Project scheduling and mnemonics
So, it’s been three months. I’ve been working on stuff, but I got thrown off of posting by changing my project schedule to the week-oriented approach I mentioned in the last post. That quickly melted into no real schedule, which … Continue reading
