Why your memory breaks down:
- You don't have a recall point
- There is no association to the subject to be memorised
- There is too much mental noise
- You lose concentration and focus
- Encoding doesn't happen quick enough (Or at all)
In order strengthen memory, you need to train it.
Memory training not only fixes the above breakdowns, it allows you to strengthen and power-up your cognitive abilities and use them to get ahead in life. No matter what your age!
Champion level focus requires champion level thinking. It's not something you can just switch on. It has to be trained.
The problem isn't always that you don't have enough time. Sometimes the problem is that some of your activities have boundaries, and some of them just don't.

Patience doesn’t mean passively waiting. It means doing all you can with what’s in your control and then letting go of the outcome.
Controlling your thoughts leads to controlling your actions.

Being imperfect is one of the most human things you can do.

You don't need to get up early in the mornings to be productive. It's what you do in your waking hours that matter.
Students learn better when they are able to manage information.

I found the best way to minimise stress and anxiety is to create different narratives in the brain that move towards positive outcomes.
