Exercise 22: Freenote Review Exercise
Described here is a special activity that Win suggests you do to end this session. With a tape
recorder or live partner for 15 minutes, or with a notepad for 20 minutes, please Freenote
everything that comes to mind about brain building. Not only what you ve learned here, but
EVERYTHING that comes to mind in the context of building brains, minds, abilities. It s a great
review process, and you will likely discover many new insights that you might not have realized
by doing it. Remember to rapidly flow without pause or hesitation or any kind of letup,
uninterrupted for 15 minutes to partner or tape recorder, or 20 minutes on notepad.
Listed below are four very simple things that Dr. Wenger suggests you to do with what you ve
just Freenoted:
1. Pick the very most interesting idea or thought that you expressed during that Freenote.
Usually, that most interesting entry will come near the end of the Freenoting or brainstorming.
2. Write out in one or two short sentences that most interesting thought, idea or observation.
3. Depending upon how you feel about what you said in that very short paragraph, please put
either a large question mark at its end or a large exclamation point.
4. Write out in large print two copies of that very short paragraph, including that large question
mark or that exclamation point. Post these where you will see them frequently through the day,
one at home and the other at work.

In this session Win begins by introducing Marion Diamond and her research with rats as
evidence that feedback is key in the development of intelligence building. To start this lesson,
you will need a half-dozen or so index cards and a red magic marker. You also need a full-size
notepad and pen.
Eye Squinting (do not do this while driving)
Squint your eyes, leaving them barely enough open that you can still see easily everything that s
around you.
With your eyes so squinted, notice it takes a definite interval of time to figure out some of what
you see or what some objects are, even familiar ones. Why is this, and what does this
phenomenon mean for us? Perhaps that with eyes squinted down that even familiar things
