This shouldnt take more than 1 hour, but I haven’t practiced in a long time so I dont know how to go about it
Should I make a PAO system for all numbers from 1-10, say, 1 would be Einstein Writing Equations, 2 would be Gould Playing Aria, 3 would be L Eating Sweets, so 123 would then be Einstein Playing Sweets. Would it be enough for 1-10? Ive used to have a 100 PAO system (with which Ive memorized 500 german words), but should a 1-10 one suffice for the least short-term use?
These images I would also have to place at the stages of a journey (or multiple ones, like the journey from my home to school), and simply go through it to memprize the digits
How does this approach sound? Does anyone know any more effective strategies (or any, at all, other than my incredibly amateurish one)? Thank you in advance!
If I could go back in the past, I would like to memorize pi in chunks of 10.
If you place 10 digits per locus, it would also help you in a situation where if someone asks, What digit is there at the 37th place in pi?
And you know it’s locus 3 object, and the seventh letter in that locus three.
Well, you can do this for different chunks as well, but 10 chunks per locus feels the easiest.
If you’re familiar with the major system, you don’t necessarily have to have a pre-defined list. You could even use other people’s lists and categories for the words. If you want to take Raja’s advice on sets of 10, (which is good advice), you need multiple categories per scene with a 2-digit setup.
You could try adjective-person-action-adjective-object to fill your 10 digit scenes, which would look something like this:
14 15 92 65 35 are the first 10 digits.
14 - adjective “DouR” (grumpy, serious, unfun")
15 - person “DoLLy” (dolly parton)
92 - action “PiNNing” (like a wrestler pinning something down on the floor)
65 - adjective “CHiLLy” (shivering, ice covered)
35 - object “MoLe” (the animal that digs undeground)
So the sentence to build your scene off of is “dour dolly pins a chilly mole”
Imagine a serious and grumpy dolly parton on the ground like a wrestler pinning down a freezing, icy mole that had popped up out of the ground.
Make that scene happen at your first locus in your memory palace.
9 more scenes / loci set up like that and you’ll have 100 in no time.
If you want to use my list as a reference for people actions adjectives and objects, here it is:
This is great, thank you! Major system never made any sense to me (perhaps because english is not my first language), but I’ll try to make it make sense; the method you’ve described seems quite simple essentially. With appreciation!
