Two-pronged attack on my memory's improvement. — over 3 years ago
Erik Benson added an entry regarding improve my memory:
Crossword puzzles. Crosswords are supposed to be useful in exercising the memory, or so I hear. So, I’ve started doing online crossword puzzles which are actually pretty cool, since you can get immediate verification of answers and count the number of cheated letters you get in the end. I can then track how much cheating I need to do in order to complete the puzzle each day.
Drugs. Gingko is an easy-to-acquire drug that has been known to improve short-term and long-term memory. That should help counteract (hopefully) all of the chemicals that I currently take that reduce short-term and long-term memory.
What other tricks are there? Looking in particular for things that don’t require me to try to actually memorize anything cause that’s tough.
MY STORY
I changed my name from Erik Benson to Buster McLeod on the flip of a coin in September of 2006. I live in Seattle, WA. I'm co-founder of The Robot Co-op (self-help internet startup) and, recently, McLeod Residence (art gallery and club house — learn about membership). I wrote a book called Man Versus Himself. I believe life is art. I believe in doubling down on big living, big loving, big risk, and big change.
I have a manifesto of 12 things you can do to make your life more interesting. They are:
- You must not dilly-dally.
- You must be your word.
- You must have good intentions.
- You must admit to being the maker of meaning.
- You must not feel sorry for yourself.
- You must have a vision that you are striving for.
- You must tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
- You must be the change.
- You must rally others with your vision.
- You must stake your reputation on your better self.
- You must be responsible for your own failure and success.
- You must be comfortable with big failure.
