What does common sense say about accelerated learning that is actually wrong? Quite a lot actually. Scientific research answers specific questions and can be misunderstood. There are so many gurus of accelerate learning out there, yet I have never seen someone as good as Anna. Why? What are the main misconceptions, and how can they …
Training eidetic memory, aka short term visual memory
Some say that eidetic memory does not really exist, while others claim to have eidetic memory. Possibly they address different aspects of short-term visual memory. What I can do is explain how each of us can enjoy a small amount of eidetic memory which is available to each and every one of us. There are …

What is Aphantasia
Aphantasia is a relatively new and trendy medical condition. It means that you cannot generate mental images. Being new, this condition has not been sufficiently scientifically tested and verified. In other words, we do not know if it really exists. Our visualization skills are different for various activities. Many of my colleagues are skeptical regarding …
Giordano Bruno, “The arts of memory”
We try to decipher the codes of Giordano Bruno, and especially the arts of memory presented in his books. Somehow he managed to combine in one text quite a lot: PAO-like visual cues, healing visualization, geometric formulas, almost kabbalistic text manipulations and mystical practice now lost. I will not try to analyze the original texts, …
Never break words into letters unless you study Klingon
It is useful to leverage the available information in large chunks. The larger the chunks, the faster and more effective the process. The smallest chunks to remember are letters. The larger chunks may include the keywords that allow access to the entire resource. The most unfriendly language Klingon is a constructed language, specifically intended to …

Atomic visualizations using the face of the clock
I define atomic visualization as compound visualizations of multiple keywords that cannot be easily disassembled. Due to strong connectivity between the keywords, these visualizations are faster to make and easier to retain. In this article I provide a clock-related way of generating such visualizations. It may work for up to 12 objects with complex relations. …

How PAOs allow one visualization for five words
PAO is a visualization of a person performing an action with an object. I argue that PAO is a fast and comfortable way to visualize 5 words in one visualization. If you’re eager to tap into your memory landscapes using exclusive and contemporary methods inspired by the indigenous memory technique, consider enrolling in my memory …

Sections and chapters of personal empowerment and mentoring masterclasses
This is a bundle for parents and mentors – but it also has very specific tips for learning skills and productivity training per specific professions. One of the things that are deeply special in 1:1 with Anna is personal guidance, different for every student. Unfortunately, 1:1 sessions are very expensive. Moreover, we want to do …

Logical markers: feedbacks and graphs
While memory champions prefer mental palaces for their simplicity and capacity, accelerated leaning gurus favor mindmaps. Mindmaps are extremely versatile and can be easily modified as new information becomes available. However, mindmaps have several essential design flaws compared to yet more flexible schemes used by engineers and AI creators. We can easily add the missing …
Two prone superdeal
We want to introduce a new superdeal. This is supposed to be a very powerful offer. The product should be strong enough to make a huge change in someone’s life. The focus is not on gaining new tools, but on gaining new perspectives. A product like that supplements your learning toolset with an entirely different …
