Course Description
Welcome to How to build a Powerful Memory: Learn information faster and keep it longer.
This is my free course which introduces you to some of the foundational concepts of building a better memory.
This course is geared towards people who want to improve their memory, be that for school, university or college. If you need to study and learn a lot of information, then it pays to know a few good strategies on how to do that.
In this course I share the basic concepts around using memory palaces and mental routes to store lists of information. Practically all information comes in lists. Think about theory, parts of things, chronological dates - they are all sequential in some way or other.
This course will help you learn that sort of information. So far, for the sake of building these courses to demonstrate how this works, I have arbitrarily learnt Pi to 500 decimal places, and the entire periodic table using these methods. In fact, using these strategies I could recall 500 decimals of pi or the periodic table backwards (and of course forwards which is a no brainer).
In this course I explain these fundamentals of memory and present you with 3 exercises to get you started. The exercises are simple and easy to do, and should not take much time out of your day. But you will certainly get the idea on how to use these techniques if you do the exercises.
Using my knowledge of psychology, I have given you a good rationale on why these memory strategies work. Psychologically they are grounded in brain research and science. I have put my faith in them, so I hope you will too, and use them to your advantage.
Since I learnt these methods, I have discovered that when I forget to use them, that is when I start to forget. They certainly help me in my day to day life, and I am sure they will help you too.

First of all It is incredible value course. Everyone should do it and learn the techniques of learning anything fast. So I want to say "Learn Something New".

Easy to follow, identify weak liks and make them stronger is an important additional info that explains why links and stories do not always work. Thank you

I liked the course; it was really helpful to add new challenge in memorising through linking things together or make a story to keep the information for longer time. Thank you Sir David :)

I do not get the point of remembering a few words when I have to remember difficult formulas of trigonometry. Moreover, I forget the story that I make because that makes no sense to me. Creating a relatable story is a bit of a challenge for me. Is there a solution for this? I will be pleased if you reply.

It gave me a better understanding and that your mind needs order and be organised to remember things better that scattered around. I will be able to use this on some of my studies but don't think would be able to put it to accounting studies

Great course. I now understand why I get so stressed out about my memory. This is a most articulate and clear presentation with good content on the importance of building a powerful memory.

Thank you! I learned new memory techniques that I think will make a difference for me. I really like the fact that you had a couple quizzes so I could see if anything was sticking and it did!

Through this course learnt I can enhanced my memory, which indeed I did. Even though this is a short course, it's very powerful, from my point of view. I do recommend It to people who wants to get the best out of new studies, as well as reading in general and rembering for a long time. Thanks Thanks Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us. God Bless You and your Family

Great Effort . Nice course. I am sure ll help in improving my memory. Thanks for the great contribution. I think Mind Mapping can also be included with few exercise.

A good course, but needs some fleshing out. More time and more concrete examples could be given towards "Memory Palaces" and "Memory Routes". Most of the course emphasis is placed on creating linked stories - which is a fine technique, but no material is presented on how to use a memory palace. As well, the final memory challenge is quite a big jump from the first two. On the first memory challenge, I scored (10 + 8) out of 20 (I ordered two of the items incorrectly) On the second challenge, I scored 19 out of 20 (I wrote "police man" rather than "police officer") On the final challenge, I score 11 out of 12.
