Think Less. Do More. Progress faster. How to execute effectively by managing two powerful mental modes Read or Listen here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/spencersla…

Unbelievable Matteo is still in Div 2... I think something in the divisional system needs to change. Div 1 must have the highest caliber players. Maybe "judgement" calls would be more fair. I don't think anyone would agree that Matteo and Vishvaa are division 2 players.

Season 26 is done. I managed to finish first in division 2 with some luck not having to play Matteo and Yunno. Looking forward to going back to Div 1 where I belong😁!

I’m not sure if this is the best way, but it is the way I have developed. I would like to say having more unique "images" instead of "duplicates" is probably better for times when you may not have focused enough on the source information. but as I said, it's not so much about the "image" it's about the feeling of "knowing what you were thinking". (4/4)

In Memory League, the "image" simply acts as a trigger for the information. I saw the word, name, or number just minutes ago, so all I need is something to trigger it. Successful recall depends on the strength of my initial focus on the source information. If I confuse similar names (ex. Keith vs. Jessie), it is a failure of focus on the original data during encoding. (3/4)

Have you ever had someone’s name on the tip of your tongue… but couldn’t remember it to save your life? Great! You can become a memory athlete ⬇️ (Read more)

So close to 30!

Another number Auto Advance PR. I still feel I can go a lot faster. PR's coming every week now (at least with auto)

@yasmemory Incredibly close!

悔しい…

What it looks like to memorize 80 digits in 14 seconds⬇️ youtu.be/NZie40ad7ds

Auto Advance (AA) PR! I've been experimenting a lot more AA, but not for speed but for technique. I set the AA at a comfortable pace (or even slower) and focus on a specific technical element. Once I am consistently near perfect and have a feel for the technique, I go down. Right now I set the AA at 15.4 seconds and that feels comfortable, but after this I will go down to 15.1. The problem I found with focusing on technique manually, is that I end up going to slow. With AA, I can maintain a good pace and focus on technique. The technical element I'm focusing on now, is adding more feel and personality.

Very close to 20 seconds! I need to start pushing the speed again. Nothing over 23 seconds for the next month... we'll see what happens

Great daily challenge today! Inter was a little down but I felt it was a tough set. Let's see if I can hold the top spot

Nearly Crushed words PR! This was with review

@dmvmemory Idk, There were a lot of easy locations too. Words that fit well together.

@Spencers_Lab Mine was 6th loci? Are you kidding? There was so many weird and long words

First ML daily challenge, awesome new feature!! Really happy with my performance, but, @dmvmemory still getting the best of me 😃 As expected, it looks like there may be some cheating. I don't think it takes away from the fun of the new feature. We can just ignore it.

@dmvmemory it was easy, no? I had 1 gap on the 4th loci

@Spencers_Lab That words set was wild! Lol
