I just wanted to say as a Hong Kong 22year old male watching your context, it gives me hope and makes me believe I’m not behind, and even if I am, I have the time and resources and knowledge to catch up! Thank you
Oh man, most definitely! Even if you were in your forties or fifties, it would still not too late to catch up and live a life worth living. With the right mindsets and systems, a lot can happen in a year. Love that you are here brother. Also, I love Hong Kong and miss it so much
You along with other productivity content creators have inspired me and helped out out along my college and youtube journey, the way you tell stories is super engaging and you are so underrated. Im still struggling with working out but hopfully that will come lmao
I’m so honored to be on that list for you! Being a part of your life makes me happy :) You got this! Keep on pushing at it. Working out is a lifelong commitment but once you get it figured out, it will pay dividends!
Hooray! I didn’t go into too much detail on how to structure this system or practice it but hopefully it gives you just enough to get some of the basics down!
I tried memory palaces over a decade ago when it became the fad after Sherlock hit tv. I always found that it was a ton of effort to convert all the information into a quirky image for very little return. Maybe my palace wasnt big enough or maybe the areas I used were too broad and I ran out of space, im not sure. Another issue I ran into is that the palaces needed upkeep. More upkeep the longer the information had gone un-studied.
There’s definitely an art to doing it well. Like most things, there are more and more advanced techniques within the basic framework and levels of efficiency depending on how you encode the information. I literally spent two years training it and encoding wide swaths of information before putting it to practice for medical school 😅
@@jkdwarrior3 Anthony Metivier has a book called "The Victorious Mind", but has more details on his site and podcast called Magnetic Memory Method. Like physical training you will need to put in work before you see results.
I’m lucky that the former memory champion is from my country and has created a course on memory techniques, including explanations of advanced techniques used in competitions. PS: Memory techniques are not a substitute for a good study method; they are meant to help memorize details when they are numerous and complex
I am already doing some of them he said and i found them when i really need to learn more and remmeber on the exam and it was the day before exam hhh sometimes difficult situaltions get us really great outcomes and teach us lots of things !
Also while the book that school gave us is a good source reading the same concept from another source and seeing different view-points surely helped me with memorization.
Definitely! Love that techique. Allowing your brain to see the material from different angles promotes “stickiness” and relationship building with your existing brain networks
So what i understood : start using the memory pallace tecnique in very creative ways to memorize stuff, but to really get good at it, we need simplify(?) The tecnique so we can use/remember the information quicker and comprehend it even further to use it in the "daily" life?
About to graduate med school and still struggling to memorize everything. I guess Im not bad at rationalizing in the hospital etc but I have horrible recall of all the unnecessary details e.g. this pathology is in chromosome 15. Tried making my own picmonics through ai, hopefully memory palace would be of aid. Thanks
Could you make/link a video on improving your mental health, it is a really important factor in many of your previous videos you have made, but it would be nice if you went more in depth into it and how to make it better
Do you ever re-use your different memory palaces? Is re-using palaces different when you use your inception method? Moonwalking with Einstein mentions that participants in the memory championships would walk through and clear their palaces before the tournament. It seems like a lot of effort to create more palaces if you want to memorise lots of different topics.
I have a roster of different main palaces that get used in circulation but for things I want to hard encode, it’s a one time deal and I never “re-use” it. The thing is, with the inception technique, anything can become a palace. For example, your favorite suitcase suddenly transforms into a giant mansion and you create a visual pathway through it spanning the exterior to the interior… the zipper, the handle, the pockets, the other pocket, the wheels, etc. I utilize every little interesting nook or crevice
@ ah I see so you have different palaces for more temporary loci and others where you don’t touch them. Do you ever use your main palaces for everyday life such as to do lists or a list of symptoms your patient explained?
thx SFS best self help channel out there but, as much as i love ur videos ive struggled to apply or even start anything let alone new healthy systems. how to i fix this and be the best person i can BE
With the help of the community I am building, my goal is to tackle this very problem… how to execute everything we talk about on this channel to become the person you want to be! I am still in the very early phases of this project but definitely something I am going to be investing time in solving. Don’t lose hope!
You should always test your knowledge and dont say i am completed after a passage of time you will figure it out youre going to be the most intelligent among the fellows !
The only way to improve memory is to enhance the ability to connect any piece of information together. Because that is the very mechanism by which the brain remembers-by linking neurons.
Are we gonna talk about how recall is only important if it persists? I want to hear that you memorized 500 digits of pi while in line, but went back A WEEK LATER and recited them. I’m trying to learn 2,000 Japanese characters for years, not minutes.
Yah, this video doesn’t do justice to how I created thousands of palaces for medical school information. Remember, that was the whole purpose of this. Remember all four years of information and ace all these insanely competitive tests to get into residency. Not just for weeks but years! The pi was just a fun silly story illustrating the speed
It’s all in how you encode the info. You lose the stuff because there’s nothing special about the thing you put in the drawer. Of course you are going to forget the random item you put into the drawer because there’s a million other items in the draw. But what if you put a mutilated rat head in the drawer that smells like garbage? You aren’t forgetting that any time soon.
When I first heard of memory palaces, I wondered if it only works for people with a strong visual imagination. What about people with a weak ability to visualize, or those with aphantasia? Should we engage an imagination using another sense instead? (I can personally only see visual flickers, not enough to create a continuous memory palace. (I am trying to strengthen this ability.) Anybody else got this issue?
Physical-Therapy "final-exams" are coming up in a few months and I'll try the mindpalace + inception method out to work on my weak spots... classic diseases of the cardio-vascular and digestive System! thanks for sharing :D Edit: The thing I'm struggling with is carrying the mindpalace technique over to the relational hierarchies. How do I get Cause, Symptoms and treatment in one "mental image"?
Yes! Great question! There’s entire exercises I used to do to develop this brain filing system. Too much to explain in one comment here, but definitely email me if you want to learn more! Goal is to develop a course to train these methods for efficient use!
Your video was really good, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and your content is truly captivating to watch. I will be looking forward to more videos like this
Doesn`t this transition happen naturally over time? I`ve had some experience with mnemonics, memory palace included and for me it was just a matter of time and practice with the subject to internalize that knowledge , i`ve crammed with mnemonics, naturally
You did it right then! It can sometimes transition nicely especially if you use the information you encoded naturally over time too. Problem with medical school is you often never get to use the information in the right context because one, you learn way more than you sometimes ever get to reasonably use, and two, depending on your specialty, it may never get used outside of a test situation
@@spoonfedstudy English. It`s time go beyond my native tongue hahaha. To be honest, i has been high time a while ago, but i`ve started roughly 7 months ago. Lately, i`ve switched my mnemonics to anki+context learning and i have noticed that my abilities in recalling slumped dramatically, so now i`m considering using mnemonics again+anki ( i didn`t use anki as i used mnemonics)
I think it just happens on its own. I tried to memorise some stuff using the memory palace. What I did was create the visual association, "saw" it a few times (1-3 times) in my mind palace at the chosen spot, and it stuck. No major effort was needed to memorise it.
Yah as long as you make the visual cue somewhat different like it’s almost not supposed to be there, it stands out in the house. I try to make it huge, larger than life and tie as many senses to it as possible, music, smells, even emotions at times.
That was just the intro example. Diving into the entire system would be 5-hours of material. Hopefully the GI bleed example gave you a small taste of how it could expand beyond

Well it makes sense; in med school you need to absorb an insane amount of material in a short time and be expected to recall it at a moments notice.

I just struggle with associating the things I need to memorise with the objects in that specific space.

My system for memorizing everything: I write it down in a notebook.
But do it w the list of numbers like you said for the pies. If you want to learn numbers or patterns of letters and numbers or like in music
Please share video for Aphantasia too. What can we do?
Doubt he’ll respond, but, Lynne Kelly has addressed aphantasia (since she has it) in her book Memory Craft. It’s excellent.

So happy to hear that! ❤️
Do you have a separate memory palace for each topic?
I do! And how I create them is specifically optimized for recall and organized in a visial mind map of sorts
where do I get the glasses?

I don't think so, I lose stuff in my house like constantly even when I put it there intentionally!
