I am currently training myself to remember names better, because I am terrible at it. I have decided it would be equally beneficial to work on remembering conversations. Working on my own I am at the current conclusion that having 10-12 loci and looking for specific answers would be one way to go; common hobbies, family, work,sports, etc… But that seems very rigid. You could also have a 100 space memory palace and start filling in spots with summaries of events, but again this seems rigid.
I am thinking of names when looking for what I want, because with names I can think of a spot on their face or head and link an image to it. This keeps the loci with that person. Every person is a loci. I like that idea, but don’t know how to put it into effect. Any advice?
