Welcome.

Build a small memory palace, and use it for something small.

A memory palace is like a visualization of an area. Id recommend somewhere you’re highly familiar with initially such as your home.

Choose 10 areas, and make sure they are linear. Use it to memorize simple things. An example could be like stove, microwave, sink, fridge, table, couch, chair, tv, window, door.

Just make sure the path makes sense.

  • Grocery lists,
  • First 10 chemicals
    For example- Hydrogen, see a fire hydrant burst with water in first location. Helium- A helium air balloon with someone named Liam in 2nd location.
  • A list of 10 things that interest you.

This is a good exercise for someone brand new to memory techniques.

I was wondering how do you link these items to fact and processes?

So for example, the fire hydrant exploding with water also gives a feature of hydrogen. Hot air balloon is full of helium, so the example not only pops but adds a bit of info.

When you get a bit more experienced they can add their number memorizing system to the facts, and add stats/dates etc. It’s same method. Now let’s say if I were to study for a chapter in a test. One chapter=1 journey, and would put the different ideas for the chapter in that journey

Yh I get that but, like I used one room to remember one chapter in my house, do I use the same room to remember other things, or is it wrong that I’m using the whole room to remember a chapter?

Id go new chapter/new room. Also don’t be fooled by the word “palace”, a lot of my best journies are outdoors and even in space sometimes…

So if I use all the rooms in my house, do I go outside
