From David Adams, Area 45 Governnor
Memory
Hot balmy August evening
In Hammersmith
Speed cards event
The media are there
52 cards to remember
In under three minutes
For the silver medal
Bet he doesn’t get out much
Can he remember?
Can I remember?
Believe! The Story!
I struggled with that
Until I discovered
The memory course
And wrong beliefs
A life-changing experience
As a naval apprentice.
It’s the way you’ve been taught
To read
Not your memory.
Just read down the middle
Be involved in the process
Don’t lose the car.
Read faster.
The eye is the camera
The brain does the reading
Use a guide. Believe!
Change the frame of reference
Double your reading speed
At least; and remember. Recall, Remember, Learnt Understood, Attention, Interest,Allow your emotions to drive you
Concentrate on the names
Have a conversation About the name
Have a conversation … focus
Change your beliefs. Effort.
Superior motivation.
Reptilian (old) brain. Juggle.No red spot. Shame
I’d like
To learn
To Juggle
Left and right brain
Cortical skills.
Left and right
Logic versus emotion.
Little and often
Take lots of breaks
When you’re learning
80 per cent goes down the drain
In twenty-four hours.
A million, million, that’s
A million, million Brain cells.
They connect. Reinforce
10 minutes, 24 hours, and 7 and 31
And, one-hundred and eighty. Repeat
Practise
the In and Out
Muscle
Repeat and Repeat and Repeat
What we see, what we hear,
What we do.
One to ten in Japanese
With itchy knees
Using all three parts;
Structure the info
Use a Mind Map
To remember the facts
On the Rue Rivoli
It’s all about technique (Isn’t it always?)
Particularly on the Rue Rivoli…
For a Binary Memory.
It’s all about belief
You can do anything
With Belief!
Fly your butterflies In formation.Rejoice
Show that you care
Reframe. Enjoy.
