My math skills are probably extremely poor, so it’s been easier for me to to make large gains. Most often, this is manifest in three digit multiplication or division, in situations that don’t allow for calculators. Small scale logistics (how much fuel do we need for x days in x area? How much food?) and other stuff a middle schooler wouldn’t have trouble with. The difference between three minutes and thirty seconds usually doesn’t matter, but I’m preparing for worst case scenarios anyway.
Currently, I have memorized nonsense paragraphs for work and basic medical diagnostic algorithms, as well as the pharmacology of drugs I administer most often. Memorizing faces, names, and minor facts concerning people at work is uncommonly useful in getting the job done. Following proper channels is usually nigh impossible, so we rely on a system of favors.
Basic python functions. Any factoid that may inspire fiction.
I am sometimes (about once a month) in situations where I am given a short amount of time to take in specific information, often digits, and there are dozens of checklists. This is where I’ve seen the most dramatic improvement.
Hrm. I think I’ve figured it out, purely from writing this reply. I’ll just focus on biases, python functions, and mathematical formulas I encounter until I’m ready to take on another major subject.
what kinds of things do you have remembered in the repository? (can you make a list?)
