Here is my daily routine.
I practice all memory disciplines daily as much as I can as listed below, I also spend time on the forum reading what I need to learn, share what I know, I also read and reread books on memory, I also think about other ideas how these methods can be used, can be improved further, and how it can help with daily life activities. I make a lot of notes and save them on my PC. I have 100s of written notes that may even convert into a book lol.
Average daily time allocated:
Most days: An hour in the morning | An hour in the evening.
Other Days: No Time at all because of my responsibilities.
Palaces: 10 - 15 minutes
I’ve also created a palace with the rooms using my Dominic persons. I have created the rooms for them all. I go thru each room, look at it as a whole, and look at each Trigger item, and then close my eyes to see the whole thing as a whole and as a 5 stop journey. I make my Person walk thru the other stops in my imagination to get used the rooms. I have 100 persons with 500 stops in total. I also have some other palaces with 25 to 50 stops in each, and always looking for other ways to create more.
Number shapes: 10 - 15 minutes
I have saved all the images in png and jpeg format from 00-99. I got thru them all one by one, taking a mental note of each shape, colour, action, size, and every other detail that I try to notice even further each time. I especially practice imagining what the object does with the other Object. I also use my own little software I’ve created to practice the whole thing. Each day I practice memorising about 100 digits.
Cards: 10 - 15 minutes
I use a simple system with the suits and the shape objects. I go thru each 2 card combo and practice imagining the suit combo with the action to the objects. Each day I practice memorising about one deck of cards.
Images: 10 - 15 minutes
This is one of my favourites. I can go all day memorising images as I don’t use any loci. I practice it with my number shapes. Each day I practice memorising between 90 to 300 images.
Names: 10 - 15 minutes
I have a huge list of all names for male and female and the images to use for each. I practice by going thru 15 names a day.
Words: 10 - 15 minutes
It’s not exactly one of my favs, I usually will choose 15 random words, and using the link method I place each 3 words to a locus. I also use a Person with a body method to memorise words.
Binary: 10 - 15 minutes
I like binary a lot. Since it’s a boolean value it can have many other uses.
I use it to memorise the order of a shuffled deck of red-black cards, binary numbers to 120 digits each day. This seems to be the easiest of them all.

I am on the website everyday. I am solo training all disciplines mentioned here apart from binary.
I enjoy practicing. I also consider myself as “addicted”
It’s become a second nature to me now and I do use it for all sort of daily life activities, so I guess it’s a useful addiction.
