You have a good memory

Do you have a good memory? Or is your memory "bad"? Why are some things easy to remember, and others so gosh dang difficult?

Stumbling in the dark

For many of us, "memorization" evokes images of late-night, highschool cram sessions. Sleep deprived and miserable, we scan our study guide for the thousandth time, close our eyes, cross our fingers, and try reciting it by heart so we can finally go to bed.

If we were really dilligent, we made flash cards.

And what did we do when the information didn't stick? Did we stop, take a breath, and adjust our methods? Did we question if our towers of flashcards were really our best shot at uploading data into our brains?

Nope! We got stressed, reprimanded ourselves for having a "bad" memory, and then repeated the exact same process, praying for success.

We didn't know why the stuff didn't stick, and we certainly didn't know how to remember it any "better". But we hoped that with enough repetitions, we'd eventually be able to recall it all without looking at our notes.

Suffice it to say, this method is painful and it doesn't work. That's a double whammy in my book. Let's explore a better approach.

The "All 50" way

Turns out, real memorization is a skill that gives results instantly, can be trained rapidly, and improves predictably.

Learning this skill feels pretty strange at first, but that strangeness is usually followed by a light, thrilling excitement that is hard to convey in writing.

What would life be like if studying for school exams was not only easy, but thrilling? How would our imaginations have developed, how interesting would our conversations have been, how many more opportunities would we have seized, if "remembering" was as easy and natural as breathing?

This site offers a practical, proof-in-the-pudding guide to teach you the fundamentals of how to use your memory the way that nature intended.

But just like reading a book about how to ride a bicycle wouldn't actually prepare you for the road, reading about how your memory works won't actually do you much good.

So instead of just reading about it, you will learn by doing. If you go through the five lessons on this site, not only will you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of how to really use your memory, but as a fun little exercise, you'll also have used your new skills to memorize all 50 of the United States in alphabetical order, forward and backward, with 100% confidence.

And the weirdest part: it will be fun.
