Tracking, indexing, or remembering all of your empty/unused memory palaces?

[Skulle66 (Banner Albert)]

Does anyone have an approach for tracking your empty or unused memory palaces?

I feel like I don’t use the technique on the fly very well because I don’t have alphabetical palaces ready to go in my mind. I have an alphabetical list in my journal. I have to look them up though or brainstorm a new one. I would rather just have the places in my mind already.

I haven’t tried an index or master memory palace. Like keeping all my unused, prepared, empty, alphabetical memory palaces ready to go in one place. Maybe an image or something from the 1st loci from the empty palace and place that in a master memory palace?

Has anyone practiced an approach like this?
How useful are master memory palaces?
What could I attribute to an empty palace to make it memorable?

Memory palace for the memory palaces. I guess tracking my used palaces too would be nice but I think thats easier because target information leads me there.

And here’s a couple comments where I share what has been the only method I’ve personally kept up with consistently:

@beau2am

Instead of being picky, I highly recommend, as your knowledge base grows, do yourself an easy favor, for each palace choose a nickname and make a simple numbered list of the palaces you have already used. Then write a brief description next to each entry of what you put in that palace (I usually just write the topic as a word or two).

It’s the simplest and easiest way to keep track of everything.
And don’t be perfect about it. That’s crazy and inefficient.

@beau2am

agree with this method. I have a list on paper. I write down a palace nickname (something short and unique that reminds me of the palace).

I also number them. I use the order that I write them on the paper. There’s relatively minimal thought going into that.
