  • Thank you so much for the support on this channel, when I posted this video we had less than 500 subscribers - now we just crossed 30,000!
    In this episode, I explain the memory system I created in order to expand my memory to new heights. I call it the Sirianni Method and with it, you can learn how to create an intentional photographic memory.

    This system works fine but you can also just develop a strong memory without having to write notes. If you want to start having a super memory. At night when your laying in your bed try to recall everything throughout your day, and I mean EVERYTHING. At first you may only be able to get a small outline of your day, or maybe just a series of events. However, in time you will start to remember exact conversations or exact words you have read. I promise you that you will not regret trying this.

      My friend most people do this. It's called having an existential crisis in bed over the things you said and did that day that were probably completely fine.. but why did that girl not laugh at that one joke though? Why did that person say that one thing in that weird tone, and why didn't you say something wittier in return? etc etc ... this is literally most of us in bed until we learn not to give a fk. Which is not an easy task

      i agree with you actually. for over 3 years ive been going to bed right after looking at my phone and checking my social media, so i havent had time to actually think about my day, think about the people in my day. I have this friend who isnt allowed to have social media till college and he remembers so many small details and when i asked him how he does that, he told me to go to bed while replaying the entire day in my head. Not obssess over small details, but instead remember more information.

      It helps me as well, especially I do it because it helps me remember dreams better and better, journaling didn't help me like this method helps me, but problem is that I study a lot in my computer so it means at the end of day it will be hard to remember anything because, It is like remembering big black whole in my day when I all day was in my laptop or phone 😭.

    A supervisor where I worked had a superb memory. I figured out how she did it. She would go over in her mind any important conversations, meetings and occurences that happened that day. She would think about every word and action. If she could not recall something said in a meeting, she would ask someone about it. She was truly amazing. She could recall the previous year ending process line by line, job by job, every person that was involved. If company news was in the paper or sent out in a memo, she would read and then read again. She would dissect every sentence, she would read between the lines, ask someone else to read it and compare comprehension. She was a legend in the company. I miss her. She passed away after retirement.

    **THE SYSTEM**
    3 rules: simplicity, personal connection, benefit from human specific memory biases
    3 key concepts: information, translation and representation.
    How it works:
    1. Grab an index card
    2. Title it with what you want to remember
    3. Fill the card with info about the subject. Make it sound personal and VERY informal
    4. Write your own connection (or personal example) to the info
    5. Draw a pic (should be visualized)

    • @HeritageDrPepper
      @HeritageDrPepper ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ​@@ZeusTalks As far as I've gathered with all these memory videos, it's really just about the process of physically taking the time to write everything out instead of typing. Whether you're writing it out on a digital apparatus or paper, at that point, shouldn't matter because it's simply about the physicality of it.
      That being said, I haven't seen anyone mention whether the eyes/brain responds differently to digital stimuli vs paper when it comes to learning and memorization considering digital screens produce an eye strain unique to screens. Perhaps that's where you would need to go to reach a definitive conclusion. But it might also be highly individualized. If you read a non-fiction book on kindle vs as a physical paper book, do you find one easier to understand and remember than the other?
      Another thing to consider is what's doable for you. If you can't or don't want to use paper notes and are therefore unlikely to use this method just because someone said you can only use paper then I'd say just go for digital. Doing this at all will be better than not.
      Also note that it doesn't have to be index cards. No school ever said "index cards, only". As long as you know how to section and utilize the paper properly, you should be fine with notebooks. Divide a page into three rows and you've got 6 "index cards" (back and front). That type of thinking. As long as you're condensing roughly to the same idea and not trying to write an essay on it lol.

    When I was younger, my teacher would write lessons on the blackboard and tell us to write everything down on our notebooks, and I remember, everyday I would waste the entire class talking to others, or drowning myself in my imagination (I used to, and still do, create lots of histories in my head where I was the hero, or histories envolving the girl I liked back then), and after the class was over, I was able to just write everything down, from my memory, I had a real photographic memory, I could remember what was written in the blackboard word by word, my colleagues would just stare at me when I started writing everything from memory, and would compare what they have written with mine, good old times, now my memory has decayed a bit, I still can do it but with less precision, but my memory is not even close to being bad, I ace exams, I learn languages pretty easily, and learn other things with only my empirical observation... But to keep a good memory you should exercise it everyday, like a muscle, and when it's tired give it some rest, but never stop learning... ❤

One hypothesis I have, is that since I was child my brain was stimulated a lot more than other people's, I always observed people, imitated them, liked to play lots of puzzles, liked math, even when I was pre school I always got perfect grades, because I was stimulating my brain too much, and I was even considered awkward and nerd sometimes, I am not up to date in science of learning, but I think this premature stimulation made my memory increase a lot, and I can even prove that with my own personal experience, before I learned a second language, my memory was worse than it is after I did it, just by learning it my memory increased a lot and I remember things much better, it kinda became a habit for me to never stop learning, this is what made my memory to be so good... I am not considering myself special and just telling what I think about it, and I hope this served of any help ❤️

      Especially useful for open book exams, or quick retrieval when needed: "I don't remember exactly what it said, but I remember it was on a left-hand side page in the book, about 1/3 into the page count, 20% down the page, give or take, and I will recognise the page when flipping through the book because I remember the layout of paragraphs (and illustrations where applicable) on the page".
      Also used it often when reading novels, where chapters later they refer back to something that was said earlier, but you forgot the exact phrasing, and now the plot hinges on it.

    Hi,
    I am a fellow paper note investigator here in Germany not 1h from Bielefeld where Luhmann lived (not important fact - but now you will remember...)
    I love this video because:
    - it asks the question why paper increases learning and remembering - even in an always online world
    - it takes a good example like Luhmanns Zettelkasten and adapts it to your own style.
    - it supports life long learning (in the sense of remembering)
    Some thing that I would add:
    - The best method of learning is (partly) based on your personal way of doing things - e.g. visual / haptic / audio?
    - to evaluate your way you need time and energy and resilience to restart/ repeat
    - sometimes it is better to follow your own intuition and not the masses (that's what Luhmann did - in my opinion)
    Feel free to ask for more details if you are interested.

    The video explains that our brains naturally decide what information to store and what to discard based on its value, relation, and repetition. The speaker created a memory system that works with the natural functions of the brain, taking into account memory biases and using the Zettelkasten method to create interconnected notes. The system involves translating information into the real world on paper, representing it in a personalized way, and using repetition and emotion to make it valuable. The goal is to remember what we deem important, not just every little detail of perception. The system enables the speaker to remember everything he learns without exception.

    I think this method enables systematic practice which is a great habit to develop. For anyone who has ever learnt a language as an adult, or tried to make a dream diary, they will also tell you their memory really improved. I love that the card method is repeatable and consistent. For me, imagining every day people doing the thing I need to remember also works well.

    I will definitely try this out. Because many people have been asking in the comments about how to sort all of these cards/notes: I think it would be really helpful to just store the actual paper notes in chronological order, but at the same time taking a photo of said notes and incorporate them into an app with different folders etc. for themes and maybe some tags to add to each card, so you can search through them if needed.

    I have used the card method in the past. As you point out, it works better than cut-n-pasting text into a digital file, partly because the act of writing it helps plant it in the memory. The trick I used was: every card had a number based on the date first written and the sequence of that day. Every card also had at least one other number (often 2-5 numbers) which were the card numbers of other cards previously written that had something in common with the new card. Linking the cards in this way creates a mental connection between the two thoughts and binds them more firmly in the memory.

    Seeing this video gives me hope of salvaging my photographic memory from my childhood. Like many other commenters, i had photographic memory as a child and i was an A student up until graduating high school. I never studied, never saw a reason to since i was getting consistent A's and B's. I also had an aptitude for math anf physics. Then college hit me like a train and thats when i realized that i never practiced how to study and i had to act fast. Thankfully i realized this quickly and only managed to fail one math course. I guess Calculus never fails to fail everyone lol.

    First, LOVE this video. The approach seems very logical and well-explained, not to mention, he's speaking from experience and offers different possible uses and personal adjustments.
    Second, this comment is largely for my own record-keeping purposes, but I'll make a quick note soon enough for those interested in the results I get from this.
    Here's MY deal:
    I'm an undergrad engineering student in my second year. Since starting undergrad, I've encountered a lot more challenges when it comes to learning new information/concepts efficiently, *fully* remembering images in my mind, and remembering things in a structured way that's conducive to quick problem-solving. I find that I recall things I've learned decently well in the long-term. In a few words, I learn things well, but slow, and I often work things out slow as well with pesky memory gaps.
    senioritis
    I've recently realized/confirmed that in order for me to learn things well, in the way I'm used to, it takes me far more time that I does my peers. I don't learn so well in classes anymore which means I have to spend more time both teaching myself AND studying outside of my scheduled classes. One of my greatest frustrations has been remembering barely enough on exams, so I'm doing research to see what I can do about learning efficiently and remembering better in the short- and long-term.
    So, I'll try this out and report back in a few weeks/months about how it worked out for me (in addition to some other mindfulness practices like meditation).

    That’s part of the benefit of a book over digital reading, physical writing over digital notes. The process incorporates much more of your senses(smell, touch) which embeds what your doing more readily. It makes what your learning stick. If you can learn to internalize this process you can skip the existential process.

Your system fits into my personality as I take dozens of notes daily. I was drowning in loose papers. I have used the index card method before. Recently I have been carrying a journal with me. I will use the journal page instead of the notecards as I either misplace or loose cards prior to getting them back to my desk. This is just me. I subscribed, will follow your channel and share your it. Respect!

  • @richardpetervonrahden6393

    Outstanding concept. Well presented.
    I have found that I remember physical handwritten lecture notes from 20 years ago far better than electronic notes, which I am now finding almost useless. Perhaps something in the physical act of writing and creating a physical page adds to memory more than typing can.
    But I also only remember things that I find have an importance and relevance… for me to remember something I need a “hook” to “hang the memory on”.
    I think both of these are in line with what you present here, but haven’t gone as far as the system you present.
    I now feel inspired to go out and buy a stack of index cards!
    Thank you.

    Thanks, excellent video. I have realized memory is directly dependent on attention. I never forget anything I put attention to, it’s like once you have the habit of attention to anything, there are many ways in which we can recreate the context we put attention to, weather we can recreate the context with notes and drawings as you mentioned here but with imagined stories and landscapes in our brains. When I was in high school I started taking notes just with drawings and really minimal specific notes, it was like your card but I included more drawings than notes, and I was able to present every single essay in front of the class without reading any note but just taking a look at the drawings maybe three times in 15 minutes.

    Fantastic content! This is a brilliant technique and something which should be taught in schools from an early age. I guess the key takeaway is making that personal connection to whatever the subject/event that you need to memorise. The use of imagery to support the text makes all the difference but I reckon other (5 sense) triggers such as smell, taste, touch and hearing would also help commit something to memory for future recall. It'd be great to know your thoughts on this . . . btw Subbed! your channel deserves to blow up!

    THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING VIDEO! Good job man, from the design and layout to the idea behind it, everything was just so well done. Thank you for this information and I can’t wait to apply it into my own life. I am curious, instead of taking physical notes, if doing digital (not like the digital you did through typing it out), but through an IPad where you actually are still writing it out with an Apple Pencil and still have those pages on pages of notes. I’ve found that this is my preferred way of thinking out ideas and is just as effective as pen and paper. It allows me to be more creative when planning projects but also doesn’t limit me physically (not having to store all of the paper and not being worried about damaging physical notebooks). I plan on trying both and will get back to you on it!

    I realised that I use the same 'understand and regurgitate in notes in your own way' method. The only thing is that I do it on my iphone notes. I used to write in notebooks but there is something about the non-uniform look that comes with handwriting that makes reading the information a task in it self. I have found that meticulously typed notes in your own words, under sub headings makes it 100 times easier for me. For eg: I made a note called "videography"... and there are subheadings for lighting, composition, storytelling, gear etc... and whatever knowledge I come across regarding any of the subheadings, I keep adding under that sub-heading. The result is a rich, portable and ever expanding body of notes on a particular subject that has a neat look and can be edited in the future without creating a mess.

    This is a very similar process to what I used when studying for my exams as a teenager. This was many moons ago, before we had computers. I rarely paid attention in class, but I knew how to swot for exams and I was mostly top of the year in every subject. I still recall a lot of it now, 40 years later. I read a section of my text books and made an index card in my own words. I then went through the index cards and discarded those that I remembered. For those that were still hard to recall, I often wrote them out again. Rinse and repeat until I remembered everything.

    I think you've developed a great system - but it's not 'photographic' in the truest meaning of 'photographic memory', unless I've missed something important in the video. You are rewriting and interpreting information so that your brain can retain it in a way that is useful to you, i.e., creating memory hooks that trigger links to specific information. Someone with a photographic memory does not need to do this. But that does not detract from the fact that you have spent time and worked on this system and turned it into an effective skill. Huge kudos to you for developing and sharing this; I found it really useful.

    There's a method method I learned from the Chan tradition of Northern China. You try to remember the day events starting from the last one, ie just before you go to bed and go on through your day up to when you woke up (if you didn't fall asleep meanwhile 🙂; but it's ok if you did, you're in bed for that purpose after all). You don't have to remember everything or strain yourself. Just take it easy, and go on on a very relaxed playful manner. The first purpose is way more important than develping memory which comes only as a byproduct. This nevertheless guarantees a tremendous memory however in just two to three months. The more you do it, the more spectacular the results. One more thing: with this method, you're sure to kiss good bye to your sleeping pills too...

Then when I am making notes, I can annotate with the page number on the back for reference and end up essentially with a personal wikipedia. Pretty cool idea.
