I’ve reworked my “copy” or “instance” of the Mind Palace because the basement strategy wasn’t working for me.
Before
- A “spicy”/“firey” version, vertically positioned as a basement
After
- Two Taco shops positioned side-by-side, as competitors
- One has “Female” vibe, and another one has “Male” vibe, for example:
- the left one has a grafitti of Frida Khalo, the one to the right has a grafitti of a Salvador Dali
- left is called “La Santa”, right is called “Lo Santo”
- left has a female waitress, right has a male waiter.
Now it feels like two different places.
- A bit because it’s more natural to navigate horizontally
- Also because of the story that they are competitors
- And the fact that the concept of “masculine” vs “feminine” is a bit easier to memorize. My native language (pt-BR) gives genders to every object (uma mesa vs. um copo)
I’ve practiced the route and re-drew it for later reference.
