Hi, @LynneKelly.
To better respect the subject of my question I preferred to ask you in this topic, even though it was prompted by your comments about stacking on Un-Stupiding Myself - a Memory Training Journal
Obviously I took the time to look for how much you had explained about your way of stacking, but at least I did not find these details about which I ask you:
-
I DID find that in your locations for Chinese radicals you go adding information/words using new DETAILS/ASPECTS of the location. That is, I understand that you don’t make a story or a chain (by linking the new info to existing info). But if this is correct, how do you maintain the order of those new physical characteristics/sublocations (inside that location) to be able to go through them when you want to recover something? Do you determine them BEFORE occupying them with new info? Or do you choose them as you need them, BUT with some geographic/spatial logic (for example, in a house first the front, then in the front from left to right until filling it, then the roof of the house, etc)?
Because if you don’t have an order you may not be able to go through them to review/rehearse them and/or you may inadvertently skip/forget them over time. -
When you started experimenting with this in the 5 stacking levels in your main palace (I think it’s your house + your garden) did you also choose new features/details in/at each location for each level (each set of info)? Or did you chain/make a story with the 4 new elements to the first one?
If you used sublocations/new details, did you care to keep some logical order to better access those 5 sublocations/details? Or not because they were very few (compared to some of the Chinese locations)?
