I’ve used the memory palace technique to memorize the presidents. Mission accomplished. But I’d now like to use the linking method. I seem to be having trouble with that. I wonder if I could get any help get started please.
I have the objects ready. Just having trouble with the linking.
washing machine
dam
chef
mad sun
men rowing
queen’s dam
michael jackson
van
hair / hairy
tire
I personally think the Memory Palace is the ultimate link. If it’s sorted out well, you can just go from station to station along your journey.
You can even use a 00-99 PAO to have images “pre-loaded” on each station to provide the links for you. For example, 01 is a tragedy mask for me (sad) and I would “link” that with a washing machine.
Others probably can comment on making links between the items as such, but if I were going to go that way, I would probably do it in pairs. The washing machine drops onto the Hoover Dam, which then crumbles onto the hat of a chef, who is boiling Mad magazines in the sun, in which men are rowing… etc.
Hello my dear, don’t you know how to link the words? one way of doing this is by placing two images on your mental screen making them interact with each other, a mental scene, using wide, funny, aggressive movements, etc. putting emotions you can create in each scene. know that you are the director of your mind! … I hope I helped a little … forgive my bad English …
The great Anthony Metivier is on this forum and responding to me? I’m honoured!
Yes I got the memory palace all ready but I’d now like to teach this method to others. And going through the process of creating a palace for others is too time consuming. Doesn’t impress them. So I’d just like to be able to teach them the presidents in 10 mins, that’s why I chose the linking. Thanks for your help!
Thanks Rodney, I appreciate the help!
I thank you for being able to help.

@Swordfish, a great and powerful wizard of education once told me that trying to generate enthusiasm where it doesn’t already exist is a waste of time and energy.
Find the people who are already interested and just help them where they are at. It’s easier and more fulfilling to grow a fire that is already burning than to try and ignite wet leaves.
The link system in a single story:
“A giant throws a washing machine towards a dam wall and this breaks, the water runs covers the whole of a restaurant and chef goes mad and fires up like the human torch evaporating all the water and men who where rowing on the water fall down from the high these men run to rebuild the dam and after they finish the queen congratulates and brings them Micheal Jackson but this one runs towards a van, when he gets in and closes the door, bunch of hair starts coming out of the van and then the tires explode.”
You could have multiple individual stories as well:
There’s washing machine inside there’s a model of a dam.
There’s a dam and a chef decides to start cooking over the waters of the dam.
There’s a chef and a caricature Sun with a mad face incinerates him.
There’s a ball of fire (represents mad sun) and group of man rowing rise their hands up and the ball of fire’s energy transfer to them.

In that thread,some commentators have differentiated between ‘link method and story method’. I like their idea and found such distinguishing helpful!
