Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I built the palace and placed my items, but they keep slipping out anyway
- The mental pictures I make to remember things come out flat and gray
- These abstract terms have nothing to picture, so they slide right out of my head
- I have a list of things I need to recall in a precise order
- I build these vivid images and they’re crystal clear the day I make them, then a week later they’ve quietly dissolved
Practices that may help
- Create vivid, bizarre, emotionally charged images for each item
Encode each fact as an extreme, unexpected, action-packed scene at its locus.
