I promise my journey as a beginner to achieve 2 minutes time in speed cards with just 7 hours practice would be most interesting to you.
Could you believe that Just 7 hours experience could make you eligible for one of condition (out of three) to become Grand master of memory (GMM).
First of all I introduce you to my cards system which helped me for so early results .I took an eye to all the systems which could help me to memorize cards but basic POA ( Person Object Action ) attracted me due to its less no. of images and wide variety of combinations and honestly difficulty to make 2 card system that every memory athlete aspire and recommends for most better results in speed cards and hour cards .
So lets start ,
I have 52 persons , 52 Objects and 52 Actions for 52 Cards . For every card there are 3 things person ,object and action e.g- 5 of clubs – It designates to jobs (i.e steve jobs ) as a person and apple as the object and peeing as his action .
My phonetic codes and whole system for cards and numbers is all designed in hindi . I did it due to my love towards my country’s language and my mother tongue and to prove that my country’s people don’t necessarily need to adopt English as their language for the system . And the last reason that mother tongue would somehow help me to improve faster.
I daily practiced for an average 1.3 hour and in 7 days I achieved 2 minutes target for speed cards with no error . so it took only 10 hours to do this amazing task.
Further I would suggest some miraculous tips how to improve faster at memorizing speed cards .
I completed my system (i.e. – POA) on 24th July 2018 and on 25th July 2018 I tried for my maiden attempt .
25th July (Maiden Attempt) – I memorized it in 5:47 min i.e. 347 seconds with 3 errors .
I was happy with my first attempt because I atleast achieved my maiden attempt within almost 6 min .I heard many others saying their maiden attempt for speed cards as 15min ,12min ,10min ,08 min e.tc so I was not disappointed .
I tried for my second attempt and somehow in hurry the images faded away and it was unsuccessful and that day I tried for 5 to 6 attempts in which my best was 4:38 min i.e 278 sec with 3 errors .
You would be curious to know what I did so that on same day I improved from 347 sec to 278 sec .
After every attempt I just first look at my cards and tried to recognise the persons as fast as possible without any association UNLIKE POA .
And revised my Poa sytem many times .
Just these 2 tips helped me a lot to improve faster.
25th July (Maiden Attempt) – I memorized it in 5:47 min i.e. 347 seconds with 3 errors
26th July 2018 (2nd Hour) – 3:44 min with 2 error i.e 224 seconds as best
For that day
I used same technique that I mentioned above to improve more . (123 sec improvement)
27th July 2018 (3rd Hour) - 3:20 min with 2 error (24 sec improvement)
28th July 2018 – 2:38 min with 0 error i.e. 52 cards(42 sec Improvement)
29th July 2018 – 2:10 min ,no error . (28 sec Improvement)
30th July 2018 – 2:09 min , no error.
31st July 2018 – 1:58 min , no error (13 sec Improvement)
1st August 2018 - 1:40 min , no error .
2nd August 2018 – 1:37 min with 4 error .
3rd - 5th August 2018 – 1:34 min with no error
06th August 2018 – 1:26 min with no error and second attempt 1:23 with 5 error (silly ones).
07th – 08th Aug 2018 – not Practised and was involved in completing some formalitites to be ready for training ( that I will further expose).
So Guys, hope it was the most interesting journey of improvement with Golden tips to improve much faster then you ever thought of .
At Last it is concluded that
* It took me 10 hrs (7 days) practice to come under 2 min mark in speed cards .
* 15 hours (average) i.e. 13 days to come under 1:30 Mark in speed cards .
So This was my Journey of 13 days in which I improved from my worst 5:47 min to my best 1:26 min in speed cards , as a beginner It was not easy to improve in short span of time but with faith and belief that I am best I have to give my best , I have to break my records , you could also do it within 13 days or in less time .
If you could broke this 1:30 min time under 13 days in speed cards as a beginner I will be most happiest man , but do share your progress story with me to my mail smritikulam@gmail.com I would be publishing that too .
Still I have more interesting progress graph to share with you all to follow, with another higher aspirated goals but I would have to pause ( not stop) here, because I have my joining as a sailor in chilka (bharatiya nausena) from 13th Aug 2018 following 24 weeks training schedule and this was the reason I told you above .
Here I used the word pause not stop because where ever I go I would not stop training memory sports .i would find out 10 min to 20 min times there to practice it.
We would meet in the month of last jan or first week of feb till then
