You're probably sick to death with the adult coloring books craze, right?
I was too. Until I realized one thing.
Adult Coloring Books Are A Great Way To Practice Memory Improvement!
But before we get into the magic of that …
There are a few huge problems people who use the Magnetic Memory Method and other mnemonics face.
1. Not enough time.
2. Not enough creativity.
3. Not enough relaxation.
Let's deal with each of these in order and see how adult coloring books can help.
How To Wrestle Time Into Submission And Win Every Time
The problem of time is easily solved.
Stop telling yourself you don't have enough time!
That's the first step and an important one.
The more you tell yourself that time is running out, moving too fast and not on your side, the more you're pushing it away.
Please understand one thing:
Time is your servant, and you are its master. You just have to take the reigns and maintain control.
How? Well, as I talked about in Mandarin Chinese Mnemonics and Morning Memory Secrets, you need to let go out of the concept of discipline.
Seriously. People constantly tell me I'm such a disciplined person, but the truth is that I'm not any more or less disciplined than your average Manic Depressive alcoholic heroin-addict gutted with debt living in the gutter.
The difference is that I use rituals and systems. And I do so in a way that minimizes the need to be disciplined. Such as not acting like a person who already has a memory implant.
Can You Use My Daily Productivity Systems?
Maybe. Maybe not. I don't believe you can carbon copy what another person does, which is why when it comes to mnemonics, memory improvement and creating your first rock-solid Memory Palace I teach you the Magnetic Memory Method. It's a method that teaches you how to create your own system of Memory Palaces.
The same thing goes for learning how to control your time.
You're never going to reproduce what anyone else does. But you can emulate their methods to create your own system. If adult coloring books become part of that, awesome.
But it all begins with saying "Yes!" to making a change and replacing discipline with systems.
Once you've got that under control, create an If-this-then-that sequence.
How To Fire Off The Perfect Time Control Sequence
Rules, as Tony Buzan said at a recent training I attended, set you free. Poets have known this for years. When Shakespeare submitted himself to the rules of the sonnet, for example, he managed to write X NUMBER of the most beautiful poems history has ever seen. That's not to mention the glorious theatre he produced following other rules and guidelines at the level of dramatic structure and the sentence.
When it comes right down to it, constraints are not restrictive. They're productive.
So my method is to chain together a number of "ifs" and then tie those to follow-up sequences to ensure that I'm living the life of my dreams. (Crazy, but yes, playing with adult coloring books while using memory techniques is part of my dream lifestyle.)
My "If-This-Then-That" Revealed …
Here's a sample morning ritual sequence:
If I get up in the morning (which I always do), I meditate for 9 minutes.
If I meditate for 9 minutes, then I start the day off on solid footing with The Freedom Journal.
If I write in The Freedom Journal, then I study Chinese and learn 3 new words.
If I study Chinese and learn 3 new words, I write a minimum of 1000 words on a new book
