Wood Shed Into Epic Art Studio: When my husband Dave and I bought our first house this past July, there was an 8'x10' wooden shed in the backyard. It was pretty standard--the type you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe's. I'm an artist by trade, so soon after moving in we got to work o…

Un programa SRS utiliza Flashcards o Tarjetas Mnemotécnicas para optimizar la memorización de cualquier tipo de información usando un algoritmo que vamos a explicar a continuación. Nos centraremos en particular en su uso para aprender japonés, especialmente los kanji. Tradicionalmente una manera eficaz para aprender los kanji era utilizar tarjetas. En la cara teníamos la pregunta (por ejemplo el kanji) y en el otro lado teníamos la respuesta (significación y pronunciación del kanji). Uno podía coger una tarjeta al azar para repasarla o ir repasándolas todas a la vez o por grupos. Pero una técnica iba a revolucionar la manera de memorizar esta información, Se llama Spaced Repetition o Repaso Espaciado. Consiste en incrementar el intervalo entre los repasos cada vez que repasas con éxito una tarjeta. Por ejemplo cuando creas una tarjeta de un kanji, te la ira mostrando el día siguiente, después de 3 días, 7 días, 15 días, 1 mes, 2 meses, 4 meses… según un algoritmo optimizado que esta programado para que repases una tarjeta en el momento ideal, es decir justo antes de que la olvides. Esta basado en el hecho de que cada vez que vas repasando una tarjeta, más se te queda en memoria y más tiempo necesitaras para olvidarla. [La verdad es que no entiendo porque esta técnica de memorización no es más conocida.] La aplicación de esta técnica de Repaso Espaciado a nuestro sistema de tarjetas se llama “Sistema Leitner” del nombre del periodista alemán Sebastián Leitner que desarrollo esta técnica en los años 70. Consiste en clasificar las tarjetas en grupos dependiendo de como te acordes de ellas. Primero tienes que intentar acordarte de la respuesta de una tarjeta. Si lo consigues, la pones en el siguiente grupo. En el caso contrario, vuelves a poner la tarjeta en el primer grupo. Cada grupo tiene una duración diferente hasta el próximo repaso. Más avanzado esta el grupo, más tiempo tienes que esperar para repasar sus tarjetas. Sin embargo este sistema muestra sus límites cuando tienes que memorizar miles de tarjetas como en el caso de los kanji. Con la llegada de los ordenadores en los años 80, se creo programas informáticos para clasificar automáticamente las tarjetas y organizar los repasos. SuperMemo Fue uno de los primeros programas SRS. Desarrollado en Polonia en 1985, hoy en día continúa como uno de los programas más populares aunque muchos critican que no es fácil de usar. http://www.supermemo.com/ Este artículo sobre el creador de SuperMemo es muy interesante: Mnemosyne Desarrollado en 2003 a partir de una versión del algoritmo de SuperMemo. Al contrario de este último, tiene una mejor interfaz y es más estable. http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/ Anki Seguramente el programa más popular en la actualidad con una interfaz muy agradable y un algoritmo más optimizado. Se puede instalar en todo tipo de sistemas desde un PC a un IPhone hasta un Nintendo DS. Independiente del sistema usado, todas las tarjetas se sincronizan en línea donde hay también una versión web del programa. Existe la posibilidad de añadir imágenes y audio a las tarjetas. [Tengo mucho que decir ya que es el sistema que utilizo. Haré una entrada especial Anki en los próximos días.] http://ichi2.net/anki/ Reviewing the Kanji Es una pagina web que utiliza la técnica SRS para estudiar los kanji utilizando el libro Remembering the Kanji de Heisig. Es el elemento perfecto al libro para las personas que no quieren crear sus propias tarjetas con uno de los programas anteriores. http://kanji.koohii.com/ Se puede traducir las palabras claves al español siguiendo las instrucciones de esta página: http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=342 Gracias a los programas SRS, se puede memorizar los kanji y asegurarse no olvidarlos mientras se sigue repasando las tarjetas. Con el tiempo, solamente se repasara cada tarjeta cada x meses, así que el número de repasos diarios se ira reduciendo poco a poco. Es muy recomendable utilizarlos para aprender los kanji. Pero va más allá que los kanji. Se puede también utilizar para aprender nuevo vocabulario creando tarjetas con la palabra nueva en la cara y la traducción/pronunciación en el otro lado. Repasando toda esa información con un programa SRS permitirá no olvidarla, que se quede en tu memoria a largo plazo y es lo que todos queremos.

I have had so much fun filming "Lollapalooza Three:The Big Grig Journal" It's almost as if I just can't stop because there are so many different creative and fun ways to do this type of journal. But I must stop somewhere. As you see it takes me lots of stuff to film this workshop but it makes me so happy because I am using supplies that I don't use very often. Good for the "guilt over massive supplies" syndrome. I hope you have been able to take advantage of the sales for these three upcoming classes. If not you can sign up here. Sale ends April 29th.

Warning: this is a very long, wordy, and detailed post. And if you have no interest in Project Life, you will be bored to tears. Feel free to skip right on through to the next post {or go make yourself a nice cup of tea}. So it's no surprise that I'm hopelessly behind in Project Life. I think this is an inherent problem with this type, or any type for that matter, of scrapbooking. Time passes, most of the time faster than we can keep up, faster than we want (except when we were kids and counting the days until Christmas, summer vacation, or the day we could get our driver's license.) Time doesn't stop so we can better appreciate those we love, so we can enjoy our baby's belly laughs, and certainly not so we can catch up with our memory keeping. But the whole point of Project Life is to document the everyday, the fleeting, time-is-passing-too-quickly moments so that we can attempt to hold onto them forever, attempt to stop time, so to speak. It's a trade-off I'm willing to make. So I will trudge on, desperately (but not hopelessly) behind. And along the way, I've learned a few things: *I've learned to jump around with my weeks. I don't have to go in order, and can just make sure I use the correct side of the page (I just do one week per single side, not double page spreads), and leave empty page protectors in my album week 14 week 15 week 16 week 17 week 19 *I've learned to document, document, document. Because even though you think you'll remember what day that happened, or the cute thing he said, you won't (or am I the only one with the horrible memory?) I use a few tools to help me keep up with this: 1) PLANNER PAGES I created my own and added them to my Creative Chaos binder: These are great for jotting down little notes about what happened that week and noting which photos need to be printed. 2) PHOTO FILE I created a quick filing system for each week of the year. Washi tape attaches an index card to the front of each divider so I can easily see the week's dates, jot notes, and keep track of what still needs to be done to complete that week's layout. Printed photos and other ephemera can be tucked right in ready to be turned into a layout. And the dividers can be reused each year just by replacing the index card. *I've learned to have everything in reach. I like to keep all my Project Life supplies together and within easy reach while I'm working. I organize PL cards in a sectioned box that I bought at Target several years ago: I separate the Becky Higgins cards by color and or pattern. This saves me tons of time shuffling through cards in their original packaging. When I need a certain color or a quote card, I can easily find one to use. Oh and those little empty spots are being reserved for the Honey edition as soon as I can get my hot little hands on it! I also organize all of my other supplies, pens, tools, etc in my Raskog cart from IKEA. Man, do I love this pretty little thing. It holds so much and keeps it all organized thanks to the Antonius inserts. I try to keep just the Project Life essentials in here, like roller date stamps my favorite alpha stamps and of course, some washi tape {A huge 'thank you!' to Becky at One Scrappin Mama for sending me most of those gorgeous rolls of tape pictured above. She sent me an absolutely ENORMOUSLY HUGE package of goodies last month when she was cleaning out her gorgeous stash of stuff. I am one lucky girl!} OK, back to some more stuff I've learned while doing Project Life this year (I'm so easily distracted). *I've learned to use a few little digi tools to help me document our lives, specifically these apps: Collect This app lets you "collect" your memories with a photo, some words, and lets you tag them for sorting. It also lets you set up multiple albums. The best part of this app is the little cards it makes: They have lots of options for sharing, but I like to email them to myself for printing. Project Life made easy! PhotoCal Love this app for sorting all my iPod/Phone photos by date. Aside from the ads, it has a nice, easy to view format that lets you easily see when your photos were taken. Gratitude Journal Even if you're not a Project Lifer, this is a fabulous app for keeping track of the little moments in life. It also lets you snap a picture to represent the day. *And finally, I have learned that I am happiest when I focus on our Project Life album, when I set aside time each day to write notes, and each week to edit and print photos. I love the actual creating of the pages, slipping just the right cards into the pages, and trying to create a pleasing and balanced visual representation of our lives for that week. Project Life has helped me be more present in our daily lives, find the joys and happiness in the little things, and be more conscientious of documenting it all. Whew! So there you have it: my little Project Life learnings as I go through my year. Now if I could just follow my own advice, maybe I wouldn't be so darn far behind!
