I’ve been working a lot on improving my memory lately, and it’s led me down quite a few roads. I’m trying some new techniques for remembering names, learning some interesting patterns for remembering numbers, and I’ve just build a new web app for helping to remember blocks of text.
The idea of this app is to teach yourself to memorize a chunk of text through a series of increasingly difficult reviews. This could be good for remembering:
- Poetry
- Scripture
- Lines for a play
- Information for a test
- Other text that could be useful
Here’s a short video that shows how it works:
You can find the app and set up a free account at memorizeit.net. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on if something like this would be valuable to use or not.
I love the idea and I confess I’m a little afraid to embarrass myself with it! (it will be worth it, I’m sure.)
Now the related challenge, where to add this new task into my daily routine!
Those are great points.
For embarrassment, no worries there, as no one else (including me) can see what you’re doing.
For the daily routine, that’s the key. In my case, every morning I run through a quick folder of morning brainy things (Duolingo, Wordle, etc, and this is just part of that list now). Having something to “attach” this to is very helpful.
