Lesson 14 - COMPLETED

Hi,

I just want to say that from today I am changing the study time of GMS. Why? Because I cannot get up in the morning :D  
That is the only reason. I completed  lesson 14 after quite long time (2hrs+ with some breakes). It was a little "not in my type lesson" because of studying history (which I am not a big fan), so I was fighting with myself a lot to finish the lesson. And also because of the new way of memorizing and reading information. Slowly, slowly but getting forward.

I am using also MMaster, and it's getting me sad - it's so fast (or I am so slow -)!!! I know it's possible to change the speed, but I want to do it in 6s. And I will !!!!
As for now I didn't have even once 100% recollection, still I must fix my FCs, I think. At the end of Lesson 14 it's written that now I should set the memorized data up to 40. But I'm still in my 20s :( !!! I'll change it today up to 25, tomorrow till 30. We'll see what will happen. Anyway, I'll let you know.

Lesson 13 - the easiest lesson as for now

Hi,

I am happy to say that the first lesson of the second course is not so time taking - around 30-40 min. and is EASY.

At first, when I read what should I do I was like - "Oh noooo!!!! again it'll take so much time" - but then... it turned out to be very easy. I had only to be focused - no music (I never use it during that time), no TV, I closed also the window (no noise from the outside) and when I started making the exercise, suddenly I was suprised that it is over. "Shit, already? Yuppie !!!" :D

So tonight I'll try a little (or whole :D ) Lesson 14. I must also do more Memory Master and remember that number 68 is PaLm.

Interesting books - less TV more knowledge

Yesterday I was looking for some informations about Daniel Tammet - and I've found in the net 3 interesting (for me) books:

First one is his autobiography - "Born on a blue day",

Second one is - "Moonwalking With Einstein" by Joshua Foer - who is claiming that Tammet is just mnemonis,

and the third one is - A. R. Luria's "The Mind of a Mnemonist- A Little Book about a Vast Memory".

Read books guys, please. There will be always some episode on TV...

Finally !!!! Lesson 12 - (First Course) -> COMPLETED

Hi everyone,

Pfff, that lesson was tiring - and it took me two evenings - and one morning :P
The first day I spent on fixing FCs (getting better, baby :D ) and first few exercises from this lesson.
First 4 exercises were ok. The next day I completed ex.4 after 3rd attempt. During 2nd recollection I forgot just 3 numbers. Not bad !!! :D

But the ex.5 was killing me. The pace of 6 sec. is not yet for me... It took me maybe 15 min. to complete it the first time (I have still problems with FCs - specially no.58 - FiLm and 70-79, the rest is almost reflex-like). The second repetition took me...20 minutes, than even more - and I said to myself - "For tonight it's over". And I went sleep. Today, this morning, I completed it with a little struggle - I started from beginning and it took me 30 mins with one repetition - but I did it !!!!

One more thing - at the end of Lesson 11, you're asked to install "Memorization Master". But... how to use it is explained in Lesson 12 (last page) or here (hehehe) -> Cicero method, 100 support images. Today is Lesson 13... I hope it'll be fun.

Lesson 11

Hello,

How's going? Yesterday I just finished Lesson 11. Most of the time I spent on exercise 4 and was a little angry (as I am not an american) with ex. 5. It was a little unfair that one, because I don't know "American Flag Day" and so on, and "National Mustard Day" made me laugh :D

I've noticed also that FCs which are having just one letter are easier to memorize - like 1-10-19 (N+...), 30-,90- because I have no doubt what the first letter is.

Ex.4 I did correctly after 3d time (first was learning it). I've got the link to "psycho technical exercises" (thank you, qsdf123). Here it is:

Also I've found some interesting movie on Youtube (once again,I have no time to watch it right now):

Enjoy :D



Just one more lesson to finish First Course - I am extremely happy!!!

FCs... Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I've just finished (after repeating again and again) FCs with memocards. I usually have a problems with those from 50-80. So I tried to improve it a little more.

Now, I am going to learn a little more of Lesson 11 (and again new FCs - shit!!!).
