We were talking about Lego Method of Gaining a Super Memory. An example will make this method easier for you to understand. Suppose a student is trying to memorize a 5 page essay at the night before exam day. He is reading the whole easy over and over again to memorize it. After doing it for 10-15 times, when he attempted to check whether he could memorize or not, he found that only the first portion of the essay is in his memory. I know this example is familiar to you. Because you have faced the same problem. Am I wrong? I know I’m not.
Now the question is why this happens. This happens because we cannot concentrate longer. When someone start reading something, he put maximum concentration on it at the beginning, which registers the thing he is reading in his memory properly. But as soon as it is more than 2-3 minutes, the concentration is reduced by more than 60%. And after 5 minutes, most of the people don’t know what they are reading! This is the cause. I think you’ve already got it.
Now how can someone memorize a 5 page essay or 20 page drama script or public speaking speech or presentation paper? Is it possible to memorize 50 page writings within 60 min? Yes. It is possible if you use Lego Method of Gaining Super Memory. So let’s start.
- First of all, you need to free yourself from any tension and mental pressure. You must bring yourself into happy and confident mood to start this method. With tensions, anger, anxiety and mental pressure, you cannot apply this method. And confident is the most important think. You must believe that you can do it and you will. If you think you are not confident enough about your memory, you can use the Power of Thinking Method to build a strong confident about your memory.
- After you are ready with a fresh and tension free mind, look at the papers that you have to memorize. No matter how large it is, now you have to confident that your memory is strong enough to memorize all the staffs. Now, read the whole thing once and gain a little knowledge about. Make sure that your first reading gives you an overall idea about what you are going to memorize.
- Here comes the magical effect of Lego Method. Divide the whole thing into lots of small sections. Suppose, there are 15 page to memorize. Divide each page into 5-6 sections. Do it for every page. Not by marking with pen. Mark it in your imagination. Now give it a break for a few minutes and make your mind free again. Think that your work is 50% done.
- Now just get small idea about each sections. No need to repeat each section for many times like everyone does. Just get some idea about each sections. It’ll not take more than 6-7 minutes. Once you are done, take a break for 5 minutes again. And remember, don’t end up in panic that you are not getting it. Confident is the key here. Have confident that 70% work is done.
- Now you have idea about the sections right? Haven’t memorize the whole thing, but you have idea about the first to last section. Now read each section with full concentration. And take little break after reading each section. No need to memorize, just read for once and do it with maximum concentration. It’s not huge you know. It’s only one section. So obviously it is easy.
- After you’ve read all the sections following the step below, try yourself that whether it is in your memory or not. I’m sure that you are surprised. The whole thing is in your memory. Now try to forget every section one by one. Try your best to forget. I know you’ll not be able to. Because those section you’ve made are Lego and once all the Legos are in your brain, the brain has reconstructed the same writing that you were trying to memorize and stored it in your memory and you cannot delete it, even if you want!
This is the Lego Method of Developing Super Memory.
