Show Notes:
- Speaker took a speed reading course and became interested in memory
- Started working for Iris Reading, the largest speed reading and memorization training company in the US
- Many people struggle to focus and retain information
- Importance of creating stability around evening routines
- Negative impact of depending on external tools
- Emphasizes the importance of creating space for oneself through commitment and organization around key pillars
- Focusing on life structures and routines can help improve the quality of one's rest and cognitive capacity
Topic: Mindfulness and Attention
- Discussion is distinct from mindfulness
- Emphasizes identifying values and focusing on key things important for accomplishing one's goals
- Limits and boundaries on our attention can help us tap into our internal potential and experience the present moment fully
Topic: Reading and Learning
- Fixation, sub vocalization, and regression are habits that slow down reading speed and can be shifted
- Setting goals for how much to read before starting can help maintain focus and attention
- Developing a note-taking system can aid in retaining and revisiting important information
- Integration and actively engaging with the material is crucial for understanding and retaining new concepts
- Passive forms of learning may limit depth of learning
Topic: Natural Mechanisms and Pseudo Environments
- Abundance of technology and pseudo-environments
- We are still ruled by natural mechanisms
- Trying to maximize and optimize our experiences can only happen in pseudo environments
- It is important to find a balance between creating boundaries/structure while still having interactions/experiences with the real world
Topic: Evening and Morning Routines
- Nightly review is just as important as the morning routine
- Planning tomorrow today is crucial to tie up uncompleted tasks in one's mind
- Practices like swimming, walking, sauna, and journaling can be therapeutic and relaxing
- Evening aspect is most important and can breed space and life into one's morning routine
- Every individual's routine may differ based on their circumstances
Topic: Personal Organizational Design and Internal Alignment
- People often do not intentionally decide how they organize their lives, which can lead to feeling overwhelmed
- The speaker is hesitant to reduce tips and techniques on how to organize one's life because it varies from person to person
- The challenge for many is that they have designed their lives to be as available as possible, making them completely unavailable to themselves
- The speaker is more interested in exploring one's internal state and aligning it for a major shift in the quality of attention and potential, not just productivity
- Well-being, Clarity, and Growth
