Do you recall studying for your exams? You probably do. But do you remember how you studied, how you memorized French words or the year of the American civil war? Now, that’s probably harder. As a teenager, Ricardo Lieuw On was packing groceries when he knew what he wanted to study: he wanted to learn about learning. He picked up a study in psychology and learned how to reduce his learning time from 3 hours to 1 hour on the same piece of content. He gained the same knowledge in 200% less time. And specially for TEDxHaarlem, he shares the secret of his technique.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I love how Youtube recommends this video the day before my exams
  • Short summary: - When you imagine bizarre stories it becomes a lot easier to remember. - If you tie this stories with place where you know very well (like your body or room) memorizing things on order become a lot easier. - Everyone can improve yourself by experimenting (your age is doesn't matter) - Find a new different methods to improve yourself and applying it in your life to see how it work for you. - With experiments in your life you will be better not only in particular skill, but also it skill to learn new thing. It will impact to your hobbies, work, relationships - to all you life.
  • I’m 75 and I love to keep learning and growing. One word of caution though: there is not one single method, including yours, that works for everyone. There is no single best way. A lot depends on being able to imagine and then finding your own way, as you found yours. These may be tools we can all use, but they are not the only way it happens, and for some people, maybe not the best.

    Conclusion: Use visualisation and images to learn, whatever u learn relate it with Something interesting.

    Investors should prepare their portfolio and ensure it beats the market, I’m trying to take full advantage of the current market,I’ve allocated my capital in a safe and sustainable way but still leave room for excitement for individual stocks, cryptos and new exciting opportunities

    This is crazy how mind mapping works in creating random and wacky scenarios, much more fun than tidier version of imagining your own house
  • @OckerNerd
    I could only memorise 4 of 10 items on my first attempt. Then i watched the rest of the video, and learned how to triple my memory. Now i can remember twelve out of ten.

    "I want you to think of someone you know called John..." I think of John Cena... "I want you to see him..."

    There's actually a book about this. It's call " How to Learn Almost Anything in 48 Hours" By Tansel Ali
  • @f52_yeevy
    This is a good method for memorising lists of unrelated items, but it doesn’t account for the fact that most things that we learn are also first UNDERSTOOD, not just memorised. In fact, understanding what you want to remember is the first step that you should do.
