Although I even did not complete the course completely yet, I'm already using the ABC list concept with great success.
For example : I always had problems remembering todo-lists. I tried to make lists on paper, but I always lost those or had no pen when I thought about something that had to be added to one of the lists and when I found a pen, I had already forgotten what I had to add, ...
I now use the ABC list method for that with great success.
For example, every sunday I'm visiting my parents. During the week, when I think about something that I have to remember for the visit, I connect it to my list. I use the word "moeder" (Dutch for "mother") and when I need more than 6 things to remember, I add the word "vader" (Dutch for "father").
I use more than 1 ABC list to connect to (my Anchorlist, my list of professions, my animal list), so when a letter appears more than once in the same word, for example two "e"'s in the word "moeder" and one extra in the word "vader", I use the second list for the second "e", the third list for the third "e", etc.
Now I can successful remember todo-lists, shopping lists (use the name of each different shop you need to go to), etc.
The more I think about it, the more applications I start to find for the ABC list concept.
