Hello,
I train every day on Memoryleague(dot)com to memorize numbers, it’s really difficult since I’m reusing the same memory palace and ghosting, forgetting became a natural part of it.
So my question is, how to deal with ghosting when I’m training and have to reuse the locis for 10-15 times and i’d like to know if it’s possible to train myself (without years and years of practice) to easily memorize 40 digits a minute?
Thanks!
Reusing palaces is a tough thing, usually time is the answer. I can use my palaces twice a day if I do one round in the morning and one in the evening, but usually I only use each palace once a day. 10-15 times is a lot.
While it is possible to “erase” an image, which some do by imagining the loci being empty or grabbing something like a big eraser and actually erasing the images from the loci, I usually see that it is no miracle method. The advised option is usually to make additional palaces.
This is more doable. It will still take some practice, but it can be done. The key is also practice. Given that you have a 2-digit system, you will have 20 pairs to read and memorize. 20 pairs means 3 seconds per pair. That is very doable with some practice.
More of a challenge would be 100 digits in 60 minute, but even that is doable.
Well there is a method in a post here,Which can eliminate ghosting and I have seen that ghosting can be eliminated by using only pieces of this method and by using this method you can eliminate ghosting and I use this method myself,
Note-That method is also the Memory Palace Method with some additions and I hope you will be happy after seeing the results of that method,
And,
Have a Great Day
