Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer What exactly is the anchorman list for?

I have listened to the course once, and at the moment I am not really sure of what exactly to use the anchorman list for. I really would like to know as it seems to be quite an important part of the memory optimiser. (Some Intelligent Gap Management there!)

OK...I selected 'view all messages' and now I can see that this question was asked and answered a while ago.

So I am learning a new subject. I make a list of up to 26 key concepts from A-Z and make a brief picture of each. (So I am making an ABC list for the subject?) I associate each concept to the anchorman list.

Then what? If I later need to recall something how will I know what letter it starts with?

The Anchorman List has a double purpose. It helps you to numerically remember the alphabet. H=8 for V=22.

If you don't need to remember something in order just use an ABC list and associate each word to the letter

For example if I wanted to do an ABC list for the book Synchro Destiny by Deepack Chopra

N=Non local Intelligence
S= Symbols
C= coincidence, consciouness, consistency
O Observation,
D=Desires

so on.

When I want to recall the book I just think of the letters of the alphabed and they cue me to the starting letter of my que word. If I seriously wanted to remember this list I would practise recalling them during piggy bank time. Then I only need to note which letter I blanked on to fix my memory web later when I look at the list.

Ok - so if I dont need the numeric sequence then I can use an ABC list...

What happens if I am faced with a problem to solve? I dont know what letter the answer starts with so I have to go through the whole thing to find what I am looking for? This doesnt seem useful to me... I typically have to study much, much more than 26 bits of information - maybe 1000's.I dont want to run through everything I know to find an answer... and I dont need to memorise everything parrot fashion either. Or am I missing something? Could a basic ABC list be a good prompt to remember further details?

I thought of creating many ABC lists while learning, studying and again revising - one list for the whole course or book or whatever and then further lists for each section - but then not memorising these lists - using them more as a thinking (or activation) tool. Each time around I would make new lists and not refer back to the old ones. The act of creating the lists seems to be quite helpful in itself.

You're using the ABC list for creating multiple memory thread. What you want is to be able to remember one peice of information that gives you access to the rest of the information in you're memory web. If you run into the problem where you cannot find the answer you need to do Intelligence Gap Management.

Your proposed idea is exactly what you can use the ABC list for.
