Using memory techniques in combination with software programs like Obsidian is enticing, isn’t it?
The promise is not only that you’ll remember more… faster… but you’ll also be able to make more mental connections.
Although I personally don’t use software much at all in my learning journey, I have helped promote others who have great ideas and a proven track record of success.
For example, years ago we took a deep dive into Evernote when it was still all the rage…
Not that I ever hear anyone talking about that software anymore, however.
These days, all I hear about is Obsidian. Or AI, especially in the positive ways Andrew Mayne has discussed artificial intelligence for better memory.
That’s why when I learned about Aidan Helfant’s results using the software, my ears perked up.
And I just knew I had to get him on the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast.
