How I Developed A Photographic Memory

Thank you so much for the support on this channel, when I posted this video we had less than 500 subscribers - now we just crossed 30,000!

In this episode, I explain the memory system I created in order to expand my memory to new heights. I call it the Sirianni Method and with it, you can learn how to create an intentional photographic memory.

This system works fine but you can also just develop a strong memory without having to write notes. If you want to start having a super memory. At night when your laying in your bed try to recall everything throughout your day, and I mean EVERYTHING. At first you may only be able to get a small outline of your day, or maybe just a series of events. However, in time you will start to remember exact conversations or exact words you have read. I promise you that you will not regret trying this.

A supervisor where I worked had a superb memory. I figured out how she did it. She would go over in her mind any important conversations, meetings and occurences that happened that day. She would think about every word and action. If she could not recall something said in a meeting, she would ask someone about it. She was truly amazing. She could recall the previous year ending process line by line, job by job, every person that was involved. If company news was in the paper or sent out in a memo, she would read and then read again. She would dissect every sentence, she would read between the lines, ask someone else to read it and compare comprehension. She was a legend in the company. I miss her. She passed away after retirement.

**THE SYSTEM**

3 rules: simplicity, personal connection, benefit from human specific memory biases

3 key concepts: information, translation and representation.

How it works:
1. Grab an index card
2. Title it with what you want to remember
3. Fill the card with info about the subject. Make it sound personal and VERY informal
4. Write your own connection (or personal example) to the info
5. Draw a pic (should be visualized)

I do something similar to this but in a notebook. The margins are filled with drawings and doodles. Arrows and annotations about connections and I write it VERY informally. I put a lot of little jokes and silly things in there that are just for me and it has absolutely helped me remember so much of what I take in.

This channel is dumb underrated. The way you explained the notes and how they worked was really helpful. And the filmmaking and editing skills are nuts

[koustubhdave]

This shows us when an genuine artists choose platforms to teach.
Thankyou for your hard work.
And I enjoyed your editing too.

Thank you! At 50, my memory began to fail me even just to remember names of people and today at 61, it frightens me to be so forgetful. I love to read as opposed to watching on a screen and your video just gave that spark I needed. I guess my problem is distraction, I get easily distracted and tend to multi-task. Focus is key in remembering things, people, places but events < good and bad > my memory is so photographic.

So you’re correct about making the things we read personal because it sticks ! ️

It's rare to encounter content that talks about memory and doesn't only promote the same old techniques like spaced repetition, simply writing things down etc.. this was refreshing!! Thank you for creating this amazing video :)

When I was younger, my teacher would write lessons on the blackboard and tell us to write everything down on our notebooks, and I remember, everyday I would waste the entire class talking to others, or drowning myself in my imagination (I used to, and still do, create lots of histories in my head where I was the hero, or histories envolving the girl I liked back then), and after the class was over, I was able to just write everything down, from my memory, I had a real photographic memory, I could remember what was written in the blackboard word by word, my colleagues would just stare at me when I started writing everything from memory, and would compare what they have written with mine, good old times, now my memory has decayed a bit, I still can do it but with less precision, but my memory is not even close to being bad, I ace exams, I learn languages pretty easily, and learn other things with only my empirical observation... But to keep a good memory you should exercise it everyday, like a muscle, and when it's tired give it some rest, but never stop learning... ❤

Bro this video feels so professional, i legit thought you had over a million subs that's how professional it feels

[abrazor]

This video changed my life. Just wanted to drop a comment to say thank you. Awesome system. I teach it to people now. Thank you so much for sharing.

[bigmanny]

This makes a lot of sense and I’ve always done this subconsciously when learning things I’m interested in. I found writing it down and then making a note about it and then writing a story using it helps me remember it perfectly. It’s how I learn Japanese. I use what I learn to write short creative stories and it helps provide some type of a link to what I learnt and it sticks as if it was always there.

Thank you for sharing!!

This method that you just told my friend, is the single most important thing i need in my life right now. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am. Thanks a lotttt man!!

[editingahmad]

This. This is the kind of people I want in my life. I've sort of created a very similar method for learning over the last few years. But this helps me structure it so I can teach other ppl too. It's tough to find people with a growth and learning mindset.

[penalosadhempaulnikkoa.]

You deserve more attention. The world of academics need you. Thank you for putting up such life-changing video. I certainly will implement this system as well.

[shreyasshankar]

How beautifully you have explained it!! I have been trying to explain it for so many years to people! People thought I was crazy..

[noahmulawin]

the production quality alone instantly made me sub, this is right up my alley. I'm honestly jealous as I want to do something like this (pursuing a purpose and then sharing it with the world). You've inspired me on such a personal level that I actually made a card about the information I've gathered in this video before even finishing the vid itself lmao. I'll try this out for myself. I'm excited to see where this could take me. Thanks man!

[miamack]

Your film making and editing skills are amazing - keep this content up it’s so good!!

[brainlover]

Amazing! You are absolutely right, information can be retained… when we feel it, see it and hear it!

[WildRiverCamping]

I love it. I love the talk on thinking, journaling on paper, remembering and learning. We need more of this now more than ever.
