Who am I Behind Mindgarden

Hi, I’m Gábor from Hungary. I’m not genius, professional, doctor or scientist. I’m just a really enthusiastic guy who would love to leave a small mark in our world. In the first place I tend to be a web developer, but thanks to a friend and nearly 7 years of experience in sales, I have a solid understanding of user experience. In my twenties I experimented with things like photography, UI & UX design, digital drawing, writing, memory training, psychology and web development. I loved them all and some of them still do. But I just couldn’t find my true calling. Empathy for Humanity For almost a decade I searched for “the” thing I should do for people. The “real thing”, if you understand what I mean. It’s not exactly an easy task to create something great from which people can learn, but I believe if we do it from our heart, it will turn out fine. COVID-19 I’m still not sure if it was a side effect of the virus or I just got lazy, but in 4 weeks I lost so many focus that I couldn’t even hold onto a thought for a minute. Sometimes I just lost the thread while I was speaking. For a few month that was my new standard. Everyone around me got upset and that was completely understandable. Without focus, we are nothing but meat and bones. Panic Attack The mind is especially close to my heart (okay, maybe it’s closer to my head, but never mind). It’s not a new invention, it’s something we’re born with. However most people don’t think of the mind like something that can be taught and developed. I do. A few years ago things came together and I had my very first panic attack. It was so intense and scary that I thought I was having a heart attack. That was the moment I decided I had to slow down, be in the moment and take control of my mind. If I may say so, I did it pretty successfully, but I needed techniques. The Techniques I’m just repeating myself when I say: Mind is not a new invention. We just need techniques to control it. My biggest help was always Headspace. With their guidance I learned to slow down, breathe and focus on the present. My second biggest help was the Memory Champions like Joshua Foer, Dominic O’Brien, Yänjaa Wintersoul, Nelson Dellis. They taught me (indirectly) methods and techniques to memorize and learn better, which led to even better focus. The fears and doubts Let me put it this way: I hear from people all the time that they are not creative, have a bad memory and can’t change themselves. My belief is that they don’t have to have such things. I’m so uncreative that I can’t even tell a joke normally, yet I managed to memorize Pi’s first 500 digits back and forth. I know my most important phone numbers and card numbers. I don’t even have to prove myself to anyone. I just memorized them because I think it was easier than looking for them every given time I needed them. Mindgarden In this spirit I’ve created the Mindgarden project to help people understand that memory is not limited by birth, age, brain or creativity. It’s all about using our initial, greatest strengths. It’s also a friendly place with unlimited possibilities, but most importantly: it’s a place for everyone. So who am I? I am a Mindgardener.

My memory is like a gold-fish’s!

Yeah I know, I know. Your memory is like a goldfish's and you think there's nothing you could do about it. But aren't you tired of feeding your brain with lies? Huh? 🤨 With the very same energy, you could simply start... using it... properly. You can't change what you already have, but you can change how you handle it. Memory is just a muscle. 💪 It's all about technique, mindset and practice. Everything else follows. And what do you gain by actually using your memory? 👇 🎯 Better focus 🧘‍♂️ A calmer mind 🧠 Getting smarter 🚀 More confidence It's not about memorizing things vs your phone can store anything anyway. It's all about you. 🌱

The Story Behind Mindgarden

In school, I always felt like the education wasn’t as good as it could be. Teachers didn’t teach us to learn; instead, they just shoved information down our throats. Although we had lessons on learning methods, they were all about common sense: don’t get distracted, focus, don’t multitask, listen to some non-distracting music, etc. These tips are great and can help you learn more efficiently, but we still just repeat every piece of information using brute force on our mind. We. Have. No. Technique. The Garden’s Soil After several books, articles, games, videos and experiments, I finally decided to create a project that can help people learn in a smarter way, like a real human. I won’t be showing you any different magic beyond what you can already get from Joshua Foer, Dominic O’Brien, Yänjaa Wintersoul, Nelson Dellis and the others. If you’ve already got the hang of their techniques and advice, you are already good to go. I learned a lot from them, but every time I tried to explain those techniques the way they did, I immediately ran into different fears and doubts. The fears and the doubts. Many people believe they can’t improve their memory or aren’t creative. They think they’re born with what they have and can’t change it. But here is the thing: We don’t have to improve our memory or be creative. The only thing we need to do is just embrace our very human abilities. Throughout human evolution we learned through experiences like sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch and emotions. We didn’t need to improve anything or be creative. We just had to live through things. And guess what? It still works this way! The stronger the experiences are, the faster and longer we preserve them in our mind. Mindgarden When we talk about the mind, there are lots of great analogies to choose from. I’ve chosen the garden, because I think it’s a great representation of the mind. The mind can be bare, rocky, simple, minimalist, weedy, well-organized, natural, full of with vegetables, flowers, statues, wildlife, and so much more! A garden can be abandoned or very well cared for. It can develop slowly or quickly evolve. Everyone can find something to love in the garden. Some people love to relax in it, while others find joy in tending to it. The possibilities are endless. It’s the same with our minds. How we take care of it makes all the difference or in other words: you reap what you sow. That’s how the idea of Mindgarden was born. It’s a place where I can explain how minds work in a way that’s easy to understand, so you can embrace and free yours.

What is Mindgarden?

Mindgarden is a place inside our head where we can dig the ground, discover and enjoy the surroundings. It’s a warm and welcoming place where we can go whenever we need to. A friendly place where we can learn some handy techniques to help us understand ourselves better in a more memorisable way. Mindgarden can be whatever we want it to be! It can be a pure, simple, clean, focused space, or a detailed one with flowers, bushes, trees and bees. It can be full of life and action! It depends on what we want to do with it, it all depends on us! There is no exact recipe for Mindgardening, just advice. But maybe most importantly: our mind as our garden is fully ours. Nobody can take that away from us. “In the garden of life, every flower has its own story, just as we do.” The Mindgarden is a wonderful place to find joy, no matter who we are or what age we are. It’s a great place to master ourselves. “No two gardens are the same. In fact no two days are the same in one garden.” And that’s true for our minds too. We might perform better one day and worse on another. We might feel better on one day and worse on another. Every garden, just like every mind has its own pace, its own ups and downs. We can’t rush them. Once we already sow the seeds, the only thing we have to do is just take care of them and go with the flow. Every one of them will sprout in its own time. I’d be lying if I said that Mindgardening is easy. No Mindgardens are made by singing “Oh, how beautiful!” and sitting in the shade. But the fruits we grow are so sweet and the flowers we bloom are so fragrant. It’s worth every second! It’s never too late to get started! I know that the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, but the second best time is now, so let’s get to take chances, make mistakes, get messy and be a Mindgardener too!

Just. Breathe.

It’s really important to breathe. Not only before training. But before every task that require focus. Breathing clears your mind. It prepares you to what comes next. So, do it often, make it count, make it conscious. It’a really easy. Just. Breathe.

A New Year's Beginning! 🚀

In January, Mindgarden turns 2 years old. And for us, these 2 years have been full of ideas, experiments, and milestones. In 2024, Mindgarden's core idea was born: While memory training has been around for centuries, there were surprisingly few modern projects truly exploring the concept of memory gardening. So we decided to plant something new. In 2025, after a lot of seeding, development and tinkering, Mindgarden really started to grow. We began building a place where you can: Follow Mindgarden through our blog. Track your progress on your personal profile. Create flashcards easily using a spaced repetition systems which reminds you when it's time to review. Play a number memory game that lets you memorize random numbers in an intuitive, new, scroll based way. ... and there's much more to come. We're incredibly excited about what the future holds. Stay with us and grow your memory along the way! 🌱 Happy New Year! 🥳

Happy New Year!

A new year. New seeds. New memories. New possibilities. Wishing you a Happy New Year full of growth, learning, and small everyday wins!
