You need more than 100 hours to learn to play an instrument. It takes 1000 hours to learn a second language (without they aid of mnemonics) and their are still a lot people who do it.
If the provide what they promise in their course that statement is completly false.
The thing the sell you in the course isn't a buch of memory techniques, like those in your link.
They give those techinques away for free.
They tell you two things (if what the promise is true):
1) A closed system which can be used in real life on a daily basis.
2) A way to learn that system in 100 hours through specific training excercises. You need a lot more time when you try to develop a good memory by studing a buch of different techiques as laid out in your link on your own.
If you say their course works, you are saying that they solved the problem of needing to spent "so MUCH time".
Sure 100 hours is still a buch of time, but you can do it in four month by spending a hour a day.
The creator of the course say that is it nearly impossible to develop a good memory that can be used in daily life situations be reading about memory skills and training a bit your own.
And that is true is you don't spend "so MUCH time".
But this course has a USP that it teaches you how to use the skills in about 100 hours (58 lectures and 1.5-2 hours per lecture).
@Trustme: How much time have you spent on the course and what can you do in real life with it at the moment? |
Here is just some things i can do with the "bunch of memory techniques":
I am able to remember names of people i have seen just once and never forget neither the person nor the name.
I know which weekday will fall into any day of the month you ask me about.
I know dates of birthday of everyone close to me.
I easily memorize and
don't forget anymore any number, from 1 digit numbers to 100 digit numbers or more, by seeing it just once for a certain amount of time, depending on the size of the number
I dont have to make shopping lists, i can just memorize it, even if they contain like 50+ itens
I memorize any kind of list with numbers, names, of whatever.
Ok not that i want to brag myself or anything im just showing you what "a bunch of techniques" can do to enhance many activities on my day to day life. You cant deny that i can use those skills in "a real life on a daily basis"
And now to the conclusion, yes i made a wrong statement because, even though the Pmemory program might work, i
doubt it takes just 100 hours. Great memory skills surely take much more time to acquire than 100h, and after you acquired it, you have to constantly be working on it so you wont lose it, because after a while you gradually forget the inumerous parts of the system if you dont practice it constantly.
