Ultimate LoFi... Keeping it all in your head?
sgen | Dec 28 2006
OK so KIAIYH is heresy around here but I'm thinking about mnemonic techniques like memory champions use to memorise 1000 digit sequences and card players use to track multiple shuffled decks. I'm happily MedFi at home and at work (a single plain old text file on computer -- although admittedly my text editor thinks its a programming language and folds, colours and formats it accordingly) but need something for when I'm out and about, mainly for capture. I was thinking about maybe constructing a GTD "memory palace" in my head and using mnemonics to track stuff until I'm back at the computer. It would be a bit of effort to set up but it would be lightweight, hands-free and waterproof (though not necessarily alcohol-proof). Just an idea. 12 Comments

Somebody sent me a set of GTD Fast to listen to and then pass along to somebody else -- and on those CDs the David is a step ahead of you. He says when you're out and unable to write something down, to visualize yourself in the place where you need to know it. To visualize yourself there, actually remembering it, and following through and doing what you need to do about it -- And even if you forget in the meantime, when you get there, you'll remember. Interesting, anyway. » POSTED IN:
