Project July

I just made the following in my pmemory journal. I'll be reposting it here.

 

I mentioned in an earlier post that I'll be starting my own 60-day pmemory Challenge without Ruslan's new materials starting July 1. Right now, I'll forgo with this plan. I'll still wait for Ruslan. If he still doesn't make an official start by August 1, I'll really start my own Challenge.

Here are the reasons why I'll back off from my earlier plan.

First, I created two test videos on how I would perform if I were to make daily video reports. These sucked! I cannot stand seeing and hearing myself on video with a horrible voice. As a result, I decided to do voice-improvement exercises. To measure my progress, I'm recording myself as I read Napoleon Hill's Self-Confidence Formula. Yesterday was Day 5 of doing such exercises. Here's my voice so far.

So I am making it a side project to improve my voice before I do the Challenge and make daily video reports.

Next reason is even without doing the lessons, there are factors I can work on to improve my result: These factors include physical health as well as attention and visualization.

I've been reading larryt's journal and even though I have no official diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, I have some of its manifestations. I find myself easy to be distracted. I find multi-tasking a compulsion. Right now, I have 11 tabs in my browser. My attention span lasts only a few minutes before taking a mini-break. So if Larry was able to deal with his attention issues, then certainly I can too. I simply need to follow a similar routine of doing attention-improvement exercises on top of official GMS materials such as the Psychotechnical exercises.

So here's what I'll use:

• Ruslan's Visualization Exercise
• The Psychotechnical Exercises
• The Power of Concentration by Theron Q. Dumont
• Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain
• Thinking as a Science by Henry Hazlitt

With attention and concentration as my biggest hurdle to getting a Phenomenal Memory, I've realized that unless I deal with this I may not be successful in the 60-Day Pmemory Challenge if Day 1 were to start today.  

Last night I'm through with the two-digit Figurative Codes. There's still lot of work to do, but my grasp of these FCs is enough to start working with the Improve Memory software. In my reading of the forums especially other journals, it dawned on me that success with developing a Phenomenal Memory as well as the ability to use it in real life hinges on whether or not you can perform really well in the Improve Memory software. As a matter of fact, it troubles me to think that one may work through the whole 59 lessons and still not get Phenomenal Memory because of his inability to perform well in Improve Memory. Therefore, it is just logical that I start with it. Even though I won't be touching the lessons for now, waiting for Ruslan's official date or August 1 whichever comes first, I can still improve.

For today, I'll be building support images for Improve Memory, then start tomorrow at 20 elements. My plan is to have at least two sets of support images for Improve Memory. On the first set, I'll not be outcome dependent. Meaning I couldn't care less if I score 0. The point is to train my brain to get used to working with ever increasing number of elements. So tomorrow, I'll start with 20; the following day, 30; and so on until I reach 300. Even though I won't care if I score 0, I'll try my best to get a quality connection so I could score decently.

On the other set of support images, I'll try my best to score really well. I'll need about 20-50 support images for this. While on the first set, I might be trying to deal with 100 or more elements. On the second set, I'll be working with 50 or less elements and try to improve my score. Eventually, I'll be developing other sets of support images. Larry seems to be doing well by doing several sessions of 50 elements.

So there. This is Project July.

Speak soon,

Steve
