Don't you hate that sinking feeling?
You know the one.
You crack open another memory improvement book.
You're excited to take your memory training to the next level.
You're hungry for the next-level techniques that no one has ever shown you before.
And yet there it is again …
Another Useless Memory Improvement Exercise!
Seriously. I can't tell you the number of times I've read a memory trainer promising the world only to start things off with something like this:
"Now that you know how to use your memory, practice with your shopping list."
Yawn.
But …
I get why they do it.
It's called giving the student a "quick victory."
But there's a problem with quick victories.
Especially when they're attached to gains that simply don't connect.
To your heart.
Your soul.
That part of your mind that craves conquering even the toughest information in the world.
For achieving that, I recommend these books instead:
In other words, you want memory improvement books that give you the ability to …
Remember Information That Instantly Improves Your Life!
And unless you're memorizing the shopping list in another language for developing fluency or helping your brain thrive … life improvement is unlikely to happen.
That's why you need to forget every memory exercise you've ever encountered and try the following instead.
Instead of applying the memory skills you've developed to meaningless information or meaningless brain games …
Apply them to information that will make an immediate difference!

Chances are that the shopping list exercise isn't going to go away anytime soon.
For that reason, let me teach you how to replace it with practice material that actually matters.
The first thing you want to ask yourself is …
What's the number one thing I could add to my memory today that would make my life better tomorrow?
Think seriously about this.
Go through all your problems and pains and find the ones where memory is the culprit.
When I first learned memory techniques, it was loud and clear:
Philosophical concepts and specific terms.
Things like …
Then there was Biblical Hebrew.
The alphabet, vocabulary, phrases.
And I was real bad with remembering the names of authors and information like historical dates.
And I remember one of my professors hated when said, "back then" or "in the past."
And she was right to hate that.
So I determined to be more specific when speaking about yesteryear in my seminar contributions.
