Today I focussed in on The Short Term Memory Checker.
I managed a new personal record with the memory game - 19 images remembered (one shy of successfully completing the max level!).
It took me around 20 minutes, including two failed attempts on the final level. A definite improvement on last time, and I am starting to get a feel for how to maximise my brain usage... i.e. when to take a break and how, basically. Once I get to around level 7 (14 images), I find I am far more successful in the higher levels if I purposefully close my eyes and/or physically get up and walk away from my computer then come back again - even if I am only gone for 10 seconds or so - it seems to really help to clear my mind, erase the previous images from my working memory and allow me to use all my faculties on the new set.
Tomorrow I'm going to beat the max level (20 images), and from there work on getting through each level faster. Also hoping to find some time to read Moonwalking with Einstein tonight, but we'll see what happens.
