First marks

Visible to anyone in the world

Well got the first marks for my first TMA, and was a tad disappointed to receive 65 marks. However following some great feedback from the tutor, I now know what weaknesses to focus on for my next TMA.

Also started keeping a journal to jot down the advice so that I can refer to it for my next TMA.

I'm just really pleased that I read Matthew Syed's 'Black Box Thinking' before starting. It's much easier to handle failure or poor results when contemplating that these are the opportunities to improve upon one's work.

Hobbies 2021

Visible to anyone in the world

Glad to be starting my Latin lessons again: using Wheelock's Latin and watching the 'beginner Latin 101' great courses on Amazon.

Hopefully in 2021 I'll become proficient.

But I'll also be pursuing my Open University BSc in Forensic Psychology starting with the first module: 'Introducing the Social Sciences'.

It's going to be a busy year, promoting my book 'Recalling 'Simon' and continuing work on my new collection of shrpt stories.

I'll keep working on my YouTube channel also. The channel is a place where I help people improve their memory, using the method of Loci technique or more colloquially as 'the memory palace.'

This technique is a profoundly efficacious and I provide step-by-step tutorials. Useful for those studying to enhance recall.
