Our
modern lives hinge on learning from a young age, but wouldn’t it be a lot
easier if we first learnt how to learn and remember?
Anastasia
Woolmer guides us on her journey from a physical to a mental athlete. After a
career as a professional Ballet and Contemporary dancer, she completed a
university degree with very little high school behind her. Like many of us, she
studied without the benefit of memory techniques, just a lot of over
preparation and late nights. Anastasia
discusses what a dramatic difference memory training has made on her life since
then. We can all benefit immensely from directed memory skills and a little
practice pays big dividends. This talk
reveals that combining the two types of fitness training – mental and physical
– helps us to achieve the most out of life.
Anastasia
is a two times Australian Memory Champion, is the first female to hold this
title and has set several Australian memory records along the way. Anastasia is
a 2 x Australian Memory Champion and holds several Australian memory records.
She is both a physical and mental athlete, with an international career as a
professional Ballet and Contemporary dancer. Her love of learning attracted her
to memory sports as a path to absorb new information quickly and she now helps
others to learn memory techniques. Anastasia is also uniquely able to
demonstrate the mental imagery she uses during memorisation.
Anastasia
believes combining both physical and mental fitness gives us the best chance
for a happy and full healthy life. She knows that anyone can train themselves
to perform remarkable memory feats and bypass slower conventional learning
methods. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format
but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
