Creating Memories - Building Knowledge

Once we have made the decision to commit something to memory we have to work to make that happen, normally a tiresome and inefficient process most of us have more than a little difficulty with. Mindburn seeks to re-invent the way you manage your memory, it is intended to become a part of your daily routine and so works hard to give you the utmost in convenience.

The first step in managing your memory with Mindburn is to create a new note. Mac OS X has a number of standard ways of doing this: as you would expect there is a menu option and keyboard shortcut from within the program. New notes can also be rapidly created by right clicking (or alt hold) on the dock icon menu.

In fact, alt/right clicking is a great way to get a lot of things done in Mindburn. Once you're familiar with the basics, explore the many options to make managing your memory lightning fast.

You're reading a chapter from a book, just how much of it do you want to remember? Remembering all of it verbatim is rarely required, at the other extreme remembering none of it seems rather futile - unless of course it was a particularly bad chapter! So it seems reasonable that some kind of a summary of key points from your material is required - of course - without this you would be faced with having to re-read the entire chapter on every review occasion.
