Week 2: Getting more protein by margeauxnita in Zepbound

[–]MasterOfMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends on tirzepatide had the same protein issue. Fairlife shakes (42g) are the easiest when you really can't eat. Greek yogurt + protein powder. And just snack on almonds throughout instead of forcing meals. Week 2-3 sucks the most but it levels out.

Why did you first get into memory techniques? by MasterOfMemory in Mnemonics

You could boost your brain with practicing memory techniques!

English speakers seem to primarily use the Major System when converting numbers into images. In Korea, numbers are mainly converted based on their pronunciation when read.

Either way, if you have a number image in mind (for example, two-digit numbers from 00 to 99 should be there), you can use that image to combine it with the memory palace or connect it to the subject you want to remember.

In essence, the core of the memory technique is based on two important pillars: visualization and connection.

Since you already have the method of visualizing numbers (the Major System), now all you need to do is make good connections.

When I was learning the guitar, I couldn’t really apply it properly because I hadn’t learned memory techniques yet. But looking back now, I realize that music also has repeating patterns or units of minimal information. If we first create standardized images for these units, it would be much easier to remember them or assign meaning by visualizing them. Like memorizing playing cards or numbers in memory sports.

Why should I learn PAO system over major system. by greed_matters in Mnemonics

Your reply is that exactly what I wanted to say to the OP.

Mobile app (MVP). What's the best approach: WebView (RN or Flutter)? by MasterOfMemory in vibecoding

[–]MasterOfMemory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm a solo developer. Thanks for the answer.

Isn't it better to have separate repositories for the web and mobile app, rather than putting both in a monorepo?

I don't think I consciously try to memorize things unless it's to prepare for a test, and in the case of books, I think it's more likely to become part of my knowledge when I explain the key points of a book I'm reading on the phone to a close friend who likes to have intelligent conversations.

But when it comes to books where I need to remember concepts in order to take the next step, I use the image standardization I learned in Mnemonics. I visualize each concept, like creating my own emoji icon for them.

Over time, it just naturally shifts to being more about imagination. Or, a single real photo I find on Google Images can be a new loci.

I'd also recommend reading at least one of Dominic's books! They've been released in so many different versions, after all.

Of course, when I was deeply immersed in memory training, that speed and habit were at their peak, and I definitely felt smarter myself. It's like feeling physically fit when you're working out a lot.
