  1. Although I prefer using shorts, in the winter it rains too much for that. As for jeans I prefer tight ones, but not ladies jeans level.
  2. I find WWE or any form of wrestling annoying, but mainly WWE
  3. For me Monza and Silverstone are boring as tracks can get. Spa is way too long and overrated. It gets boring really fast.
  4. I get bored easily. Only if I'm doing something I really like and I'm pretty decent at, I won't get bored. I also demotivate easily if I know I suck at something
  5. I have a powerful memory, but I never trained it properly. It happened more than once having to memorize a 50+km route from google maps and then driving it from memory. I knew 60% of the worlds countries-capitals combos. My mental calculation is also powerful but again, never trained it properly. I lack agility on some calculations.

I don't think this is a good example of having a good memory. I spent months memorising new 300km+ routes daily and my memory isn't great.

Rains too much for shorts? I never see the problem with wearing Shorts in the rain.

I find this amazing. But the more you train the more capable you are. 80% of what I memorize isn't on purpose, I just retain what might be relevant information. It's not photografic memory (although a psychologist said I had it), because my short term is weak, but if I have to use information I retained 10 years ago, even if I seen it once, I easily can.

It may be part training but there's certainly a method to memorising different things.

When it comes to maps a photographic memory is very useful, that's partly how I managed it, but it's also a simple process of memorising junctions. There's no need to remember ever km of road, just remeber a series of turn and know your general direction and it becomes easier to memorise whole sections of roads running across huge sections of a country.

Really? Well I guess since I spend the majority of my time in Water when I can, it doesn't bother me :P.

And that abilty of memorizing padrons and creating analogias to those padrons is what trains your memory. Memorizing maps is all about points of interest, this case junctions. Navigating through cities is memorizing peculiar things, like buildings. Still, it's quite remarkable memorizing the direction of each junctions over 300+km

At the time it was part of my mission so I had to do it well. There were no landmarks to go by a lot of the time because I was just using a road map. Some days were just 2 or 3 roads, other days, in cities, it was 30-40 turns to remember. I don't have any particularly excellent skill to note but navigating is something I pride myself on being good at.

Training your memory is a very useful thing. Mind mapping, if you can master it, is a brilliant way to remember lots of detail.
