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.
Click play and listen in as we take a deep dive into the use of Obsidian as part of your learning strategy.
Who Is Aidan Helfant?
Aidan is an incredible learner who is creating incredible tutorials that help students enjoy going to college much more. His excellent blog covers a number of very important learning strategies, from mastering the Memory Palace technique to overcoming distractions.
Aidan’s teaching is well worth paying attention to because he focuses on the fundamentals:
- Learning habits
- Aligning your true interests with your choice of degree
- The truth about multitasking for lasting success
- What it takes to really succeed at a university like Cornell
In all things, I suggest you get into his work and apply the ideas he shares to what you want to learn a.s.a.p.
Here’s where to find Aidan on YouTube, his second Conscious College channel and via his Twitter/X account.
In all things, if you want to beat procrastination, create dense mental connections without having to explore mind map mastery, and fill your life with meaningful activities, Aidan’s a great new voice on the scene.
Avoid the soul-sucking tedium of rote learning and actually enjoy studying for a change!
