@matheusminto, OK that’s a little better. Here’s what I use in my words though that I think is better:
Memory palace = I still prefer to call this your head. It’s a beautiful place with memories.
Your peg system = your house of objects. Peg = one object where you associate things to remember (a locus is a place) locus - a place where I can put an object or start a story
You can’t see more than about seven images at one time in your head. A story will let you see groups of images. A peg system will not. I can put a story in one location instead of just an object. That way I see multiple objects at one locus. But I have a rule to follow. You need a rule. I walk through the loci of my building with that rule.
Impressive! For me I don’t spend much time creating memory palaces. I always get one off head. I mostly use scenes from movies and video games. I always create small palaces. For longer info, I still use smaller palaces but I move the rest of the info to other palaces and then link the two palaces . It has been so efficient for me.
I’m not the OP, but what I do for math symbols and everything else, is everyone gets their own character. So for instance, pie’s character (pie as in 3.14…) is a well-dressed English gentleman with a VERY posh accent who is always eating some pie. Pizza pie, pheasant pie, shepherd’s pie, pot pie, regular pie of all flavors. He enjoys long walks around the pie symbol in his back yard, and in fact he has a songline where he’s memorized the first 314 digits of pie.
Whenever I read about a particular rule or something involving something I’ve already learned about, it’s REALLY fun because my characters get to hangout and spend time together and then it’s always a joy when they get to meet someone new.
I aspire to develop extensive nuance for all of my 00-99 people in a similar way over time. I never would have thought I would be motivated to learn as many details as possible about Kim Kardashian.
This is exactly what I’ve doing with my palace memories. I use street view - see inside feature which opens up to many great memory palaces. The most popular or hooks-rich locations I found so far, I’ve been posting on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/realvirtualtour/).
I use a custom major system and do the journey with it so that I can pinpoint all the hooks with an image. Personally, I skip all the process of taking screenshot and train to get familiar with loci directly in my head, going forward and backward around the palace.
I aso use Anki, but I find very useful to review an entire subtopic or memory palace which an average of 50 loci each. I noticed reviewing with batches of data or by walking through a journey is better and I spend less time reviewing by creating less cards.
Hey Febro, just wanted to thank you for the effort and consistency you’ve been putting in collecting all these tours. Looking forward to walk through them and perhaps one day visit them in real life, for example some of the European places. I guess it will be quite an odd feeling to walk through the Palace of Versailles and stumbling upon all the pegs & hooks!
Hi, really helpful post. But I have one more question that how do you organise your palaces? Do you put them in groups or build a bigger palace to store them?
Hey there,
Apologies for the late questions if it is inconvenient!
I find this bit of text very interesting.Haven’t read this being talked about at other places.
Can you elaborate this part?
When this ‘assimilation’ is done, what happens to the palace?
I was once able to just see the location and see what content existed there in my memory Palace,instead of finally arriving at the data after performing the linking method I employed (no sound-alike word or imagery,just see the location and straight up answer).
I am unsure how do phrase this,I think.
Perhaps,could you explain how you ‘visualise’ this? Is it similar to how I have explained?
