How to develop Sherlock Holmes-like power
Increase your powers of observation
Give yourself challenges that force you to slow down: observe one new thing everyday. You will notice small details in your environment and daily life. And everything that's out of place.
Take notes to focus your attention: write descriptions and draw pictures of what you see. The more you do this on paper, the better you'll do it on the fly.
Meditate daily: it will teach you how to concentrate on what's in your head.
Power up your deduction skills
Analyse what you see or read, and ask questions: “Why is this important?” or “Why do I want to remember it?”
Form connections between what you see and what you know: for example, mindmaps are a great way to make connections between all the things you know.
Increase your knowledge base: Holmes is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge.
