Dear Kelley. What do you mean by utilizing circadian rythm circles?
What would you suggest?
Circadian rythm circles are utilized in the SuperMemo software I mentioned.
But how would you use them during any learning process?
Maybe you have a good idea?

Hi Ian,

Are you utilizing your circadian rythm cycles during this multi-hour process?

Das ist sonst super geil man.
Undersanding of languages tends to intensify elasticity of the brain, and thoughts.
and learning should be fun, and not mandatory.
It's what distinguishes the good from the bad teachers: "Having the students enjoy learning!"

It's great to hear that you are making such a progress, in your "new" approach to learning.

Thanks Doc for your input.
Regarding so called retention. Reviewing after 24 hours is mantadory.
But because I do it not only for fun I use a special software called SuperMemo (highly recommended).
"For fun" I mean memorizing lots of items without any desire to keep it in your memory later.
As example- memorizing playing cards as a daily fun. You memorize it, show to others as a stunt and then do not care,.,
But when we are talking about language- then assumption is- that we want to use it in the future.

And the last thought. The only and real problem with doing more is simply becoming tired after few hours of memorizing. There must be a way to avoid it.... welll..... maybe memorizing 10 times faster:)

does your mouth or jaw move slightly when you're doing this? quiet this habit and you will notice that you can do it even faster!

To achieve 1000, set up 20-100% extra as your target, i.e. up to 2000 words as the "intake load" maximum. Review your memory from that list for retention. Now find that it is even easier to attain your minimum daily goal of 1000. On day two, add 1200+ more, but review all 1200-2000 from prior day. The extra words will give you a cushion, such that you feel fantastic about reaching your daily goal. Always give yourself that added cushion, so you can always say positive and rewarding things to yourself. Key is building confidently with consistency. And readjust your daily goals if time ever becomes an issue.
