SimonLuisi:
know where all your numbers are in a memory palace. Then put your images there. This way, you have two means to reach your target image (visually, by the memory castle or audioly with the key of the Major system). It is easy to dismiss the value of this approach as only experience truly reveals its value.
This technique becomes even more useful when it serves a “real” purpose, rather than just being the container for your digit system. This way, you’ll subconsciously train your system whilst doing something else. I’ve described it here before with calendar calculation:
For the younger generation back in the days we’d see people’s phone numbers on our display and then needed to figure out who’s number it was. Basically, instead of thinking of the person you want to call and then dial their number, you’d do things in reverse; hence, reverse lookup. These days looking up which country an IP address is from would be considered reverse lookup.
