1. Introduction: You are not what
happened to you. You are what you remember
of what happened to you. How strong is your memory? Are you someone that
complaints about your memory of being weak? You're incorrect. My friend, let's say you've been dwelling of things
that happened in the past. It happened in the past, right? Yet you're capable
of remembering it. You don't have a memory problem. You have a memory
recall problem. You're unable to remember
what you want at, well, and that's what this class is going
to help you out with. In this beginner's
class on memory recall, you're going to understand
what pneumonics are. But strategically
using a pneumonic, you are going to have
a mental hook that allows you to remember
information at, well, my name is Armand jewelry,
the founder of Vermont. He talks a media
company which helps engineers and entrepreneurs
improve their soft skills. And I'm also the author of
the book level of mortality. In this book, I talk about how to strengthen
the mindset and what better way to
strengthen the mindset than have a strong memory? Recall, if you're ready
to boost your memory. Recall, I look forward
to seeing you inside.
2. What Are Mnemonics?: Pneumonics or mental
hooks that allow you to recall a piece
of information.
3. Create and Remember Forever: The thing would do monarchs are that it's a little
tricky to set up. But once you set
it up correctly, you can honestly remember that piece of
information forever. You can recall it at well, every now and then I spoke out some of my childhood friends because back in my days when I was roughly eight
to nine years old, we didn't have cell phones
like we know today. If you wanted to talk
to your friends, what you had to do
was you to remember their number or at least
write it on a notepad? You actually had to call them. One of my good friends. I showed him a couple of weeks back and we hadn't chilled
four years is because he moved to a completely
different part of the world and he was visiting
soon as I saw him. The first thing I said to him was his number from
eight years old. And he was just
like, What the heck? How do you remember that? The reason that I remember that was because as a little kid, I would write it down
on a piece of paper, but I don't lose
the piece of paper. So eventually I just
kept remembering it. And I started to create these little stories
with each number. I connected these numbers
to form his phone number. To this day. I remember this. This, think about it over two decades later that
pneumonic is still remembered. So the thing with creating
mneumonics is you want to understand what piece of information that you
really want to recall. Once you create that pneumonic, it creates this strong
mental impression in your mind that may allow you to remember this piece of
information forever.
4. Mnemonic #1 - Rhyme: One of the easiest
ways to remember something is if you run, you will remember it every time. Rhyming is a very
powerful way to remember something because it's
something rhythmic. And whenever rhythms
are introduced, your nervous system
gets engaged. Then to find it weird that
if you study history, it doesn't matter
which society it was. They have something
in relationship to music within their
culture and society. That's because rhythms
are primal for the body. The brain loves rhythms. The heart loves it as well. Whenever you're
overhear rhyming, it engages this pattern
recognition part of your mind. So whatever thing that
you're trying to remember, a see if you can make it rhyme. And even the act of finding
words that rhyme with it is a process of
installing cables in your brain that will ally to remember this
piece of information. Once again, if you
make it rhyme, you will remember it every time.
5. Mnemonic #2 - Associations: The next pneumonic
are associations. When I first came
to the country, I had to tell people
what my name was. It's Armand sugary. And whenever I was
trying to say that name, people who are like What? How do you say that? I'm like Armand. And some people
will say are men. And some other people
would say Armand, I was like No, our mom, but they still couldn't say it. So one day I
discovered this brand, it was called Armani. So I was like our money. That's very similar. And it seems like those people
could say our money. So I go up to them
and I'd be like, It's the Armani without the eye. As soon as I said that
it clicked for them. They were like, Oh, Armand. And it just made sense. The other part of my
name, my last name, uh, Joe three, was
another difficult one. I still recall how this
pneumonic was created. I believe I was in the
second grade at the time. And Ms. Smith, as she
had this exercise, where we were all
learning about mnemonics. And for some reason, she chose me first. And she put in Joe theory, which she pronounced chattering. She just couldn't
say two or three. And he was like, so class how would I remember
a name like Choudhury? And the other kids were like, how is she going to
pull this one off? She was just like clam chowder. Get it. Clam chowder worry. Once she said it like that, it just clicked for a
lot of these students. In two situations are
money and clam chowder. These were associations
that reminded others of the information
that was to be remembered. If you can create an
association like this, it's one of these ways that
you make a puzzle click. Once it clicks, you
just remember it. At this point, you're
probably going to remember my name forever. It's because the
right associations were put into the mix.
6. Mnemonic #3 - Anecdotes: Now in the last clip, I actually introduced something
that was highly powerful. An anecdote. An anecdote
is a personal story, and I told you two anecdotes. One of how Armani was created, one of how clamped Chowdhury was created by using anecdotes at this person realizes
the information. Here's the thing. If someone comes up
to you and is like, Hey, do you know the speed
of light is X, Y, and Z. Do you know that the
smallest particle is x, y, and z units. These are really things that pertain to you on a
day-by-day level. But if you could find a way
for it to pertain to you. Now, automatically, your
ego is getting engaged. The ego is the
personalization factor. Because think about
it like this. Up until you're a baby, all the way up until right now, let's say you're 35 years old. You've been through so much
experiences, so many data. But what's causing you
to just identify what some of that data rather
than all of that data. This is a very important
question. It's the ego. And the ego is basically like, what do I identify with? And whatever I identify with, I'm going to take in
information in regards to that. So by creating an anecdote, what's happening with
you is that you are, you are appealing to the ego you're speaking,
it's language. So whatever information
that you are trying to learn do your best to see if you can create
some sort of anecdote, personal story out of it. And by doing this, you increase your likelihood of remembering this information.
7. Mnemonic #4 - Do It: One of the final pneumonics
that I want to give you is very practical. And you may actually
think I'm joking. It's to actually do whatever
you're trying to memorize. This is very important because your body really likes
practical application. This is where we get a
lot of things wrong. A lot of times in school, what happens is
that we're forcing a lot of individuals
to learn formulas. There is, and just laws of things that we don't
really know much about. But once you actually do it, the chances of you
learning these laws, theories, formulas
drastically increases. So whatever you're
trying to memorize, ask yourself the question. Wait, can actually do it. Let's say e.g. you're trying to learn how to change a tire. And let's say you're over here watching all these
YouTube videos of different steps on
how to do this act. Maybe you could hit
up your cousin, who's a mechanic
and be like, Hey, can I come over to your job and just watch
you change your tire? And your cousin is like,
I'll do you want better? I'll let you change
one yourself. You really want to learn,
then you have to do it. So you do it. Once you do it, now, you're, you're
understanding it more. Once you watch the videos now, it just reminds you of
what you actually did. So just ask yourself
the question, can I do this task here
rather than taking all these notes and watching all these different
content pieces, allow me to do it and then
consume the content later. By doing this, it
will make more sense.
8. Exercise Your Memory: It's very important
for creators to have a strong memory because you can't create
something out of nothing. Great writers, great
speakers, and much more, have this database
of a strong memory. They can recall
information at well, by recalling
information at well, they're able to create a well. This is what allows them to create profound YouTube talks, speeches, books and much more. This is more so a
state of a philosophy. I believe one of the first-ever information systems
breakthroughs was the pen, is because before
the writing utensil and the ink were separate. But by the time the
two are combined, what happened was that you could speed up getting
the ideas out there. Not only could you speed up
getting the ideas out there, what also happened
was that people somewhat became too reliant on this information
systems breakthrough. Rather than realizing that
they had a strong memory, what a lot of them did was like, Let me take notes. Now. Here, I want you
to listen to this. I have nothing against notes. I think taking Smart Notes
is highly effective. But be very wary
of being reliant on nodes where you're not even listening to
the lecture anymore. You're just writing down
things left and right. Where you're taking in my words, taking in the words
of these professors. But you're not understanding. This is when you do your
memory. It is service. From this video, I want you to understand that the
memory is a muscle. And the more that you
keep working it out, the stronger that it gets. But when you become too
reliant on taking notes, this is when your memory
begins to degrade. So put the notes
aside for a second and see if you can
use your memory to remember information
and any other details that you can't
necessarily recall. Just because you don't want
to or seems a little trivial. But it's important
in the long run. That's something you
could write down, lead with memory and take
notes to fill in the gaps.
9. Final Project: Congratulations for making
it to the end of the class. Now is the time for
the final project. For the final project, I'm
going to challenge you. I want you to remember
the word super color, fragile, realistic XP ala doses. And if you don't know
how to spell it, check out the final project
section right on below, or just go on Google and
just type in super see. And then it should be one of the first phrase
is that pops up. You have one week to remember
how to spell this word. And throughout, this week
is going to be difficult. And you're going
to be like, well, this is such a big word. How the heck am I
going to remember it? You have plenty of
different options. You could create
segmentations of the word and remember
it one at a time. You can remember these
segmentations by creating stories, by creating associations,
anecdotes, and much more. And then eventually, you
can combine it all into one big picture understanding. Don't view this exercise
as a waste of time. It's like, well, how
often am I going to really use this word
and daily language? Instead, view this
as a peek into how powerful your memory is once you give it a
clear direction. One week, remember this word
and create a report on it. How was it pretty successful? Were you someone that I did your best but you couldn't
remember it in a week. Again, as detailed
as you possibly can and create a
report out of it, are posted in the final project
section right down below. I look forward to reading it. If you enjoyed this
beginner's class on how to boost your memory, recall the use of mneumonics. Be sure to check out
