Last week I officially started my Perfect Day Experiment. In case you missed it, the deal is that I’m following a very strict schedule aligned specifically with the goals I have for the coming months.
The experiment it’s all about me and strictly focused on my own goals, but I believe that the way I deconstructed and organized my day will be of value to all. Slowly I’ll be sharing insights, tips and things I’m learning with you.
This week, for instance, I came up with the following conclusions:
When trying to memorize something (language vocabulary, ideas, quotes, lines or more) it’s better to continuously repeat through the day. I now read these materials after every meal. As I eat every 2.5 hours this means that I repeat the vocabulary and ideas at least five or six times a day. This makes it stick amazingly fast. To have the right timing is vital – and it’s easier to install the habit.
This small success made me want to add more features to these after-food moments. So now I might read the motivation letter again or perhaps a chapter of the book I’m reading this week. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out which is the right mix.
In the meantime, I’ll continue sharing with you the best material. So – What’s exactly going on this week?
First, I’ll post the expanded and updated guide on Language Learning. It’s a completely new post, with new ideas, techniques and an innovative and easy to follow approach. It will make language learning inevitable.
I will also write a continuation to the Motivation Letter post. If you still can’t get out of bed or go through the day as excited and thrilled as you would like to, then a new exercise I developed will be handy for you.
Last, I’ll kick off with a new category of posts soon. The idea is to make history and archaeology appealing to all. These two are my biggest passions, even more than business, languages and travel. Yet, many people just hate history. I believe, just like with physics, history is not taught well. Professors and b0oks sometimes just don’t press the right keys.
I’ll try my best and make history appealing for everyone. I’ll write posts focusing on a certain event or personality and explain what is it really important and what should we learn. To start, I’ll kick-off with the world-changing Battle of Salamis in Ancient Greece. The 300 Spartans heroic struggle against thousands of Persians made them immortal – but it was the Athenian-led alliance at Salamis who really saved Greece (and Western Civilization as we know it) from falling into the hands of Persia.
I hope you are excited as I am for all this. Have a great week and we’ll be catching up on Monday and Thursday!
