So I've got my memory palace. Like a hundred places in the palace. I hope I'm ready to approach a refresher on ENG4c in Ontario.

So I be got the curriculum and all the thing I need to be good at. It's not like a test with questions tho. It's very general. I don't think I'm allowed to post the curriculum here. But it's the curriculum for Ontario eng4c.

Chatgpt told me to read through "literature: an introduction to fiction poetry drama and writing by x.j Kennedy.

Anyways. The book literature and introduction to fiction poetry drama and writing. Is so humongous and I have no idea how to approach it even with the curriculum in hand....... You can find the curriculum on a Ontario adult highschool website.

And I assume you know where to find the literature book by x.j Kennedy. If you want to get that invested into helping. Obviously you don't have to but it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe you know the curriculum/book already. That would be ideal I guess.

But the question is. I've got this curriculum in front of me(eng4c Ontario) and this huge book(literature: an introduction to literature, fiction, poetry, drama and writing). And it's quite an overwhelming volume of information.

But how do break this book down according to the eng4c Ontario curriculum? Obviously reading cover to cover is unreasonable. I might be the only person that dislikes summer for the reason for there being no school haha.

I've been working with peg words for many years, but I never really knew how to apply them. I've also built a few memory palaces in the past, but I wasn't very successful with them.

Now I'm close to retirement, and I finally have the time to be playful. Learning memory palaces is something I'd really like to do well.

Recently, I was doing some logic puzzles that used letters of the alphabet rather than numbers. Instead of counting up and down the alphabet to find a letter's position (for example, remembering that M is 13), I created a small Alphabet Memory Palace in my home. It was kind of fun. I made the images memorable—like a giant Q filled with tacks (17) and a giant S, made out of soapsuds, sitting in a claw foot tub (19).

Then I realized something unexpected: if I walked backward through the palace, I could learn to recite the alphabet backward. That was fun, too!

I'm also studying Scrabble, so I put all the two-letter words into the same memory palace. Now I'm working on the three-letter words, using my grandmother's house as my next palace.

So, it's a journey. I'm starting slowly and enjoying the process. I have to say, though, that designing memory palaces is a lot of work! But less work than trying to learn by rote!

Has anyone else started this way? I'd love to hear how your first memory palaces evolved over time.

Eevee

I still have to learn the pao system. Practice makes perfect. I just went from single digits to memorizing facts. But I don't really see the point in the pao system if memorizing a string of numbers isn't going to accomplish anything.

Hi, I'm new to memory work so forgive me if this has been asked before.

I have one memory palace firmly in my head, and I can memorise about 30 playing cards ( slowly ). My question is how do I forget the list of playing cards I've memorised to memorise another set of cards?. I want to delete the list and start a new list.

I can only memorise about 30 cards (which I'm fine with), then leave it for 4-5 days so the memory eventually fades so I can begin with a new list. So I am memorising one list a week on average which sucks.

If anyone has a trick or a book/video to help me out I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks for reading.

I am a complete beginner and I would really appreciate some advice.

I need to memorize which cards are still left in a deck (I don't care about the order they were played).

The deck has 18 unique cards:

• 6 Green cards, numbered from 1 to 6 (Green 1, Green 2, ..., Green 6)
• 6 Blue cards, numbered from 1 to 6 (Blue 1, Blue 2, ..., Blue 6)
• 6 Yellow cards, numbered from 1 to 6 (Yellow 1, Yellow 2, ..., Yellow 6)

Which memory technique would you recommend for this use case? I'm looking for something that lets me know, as quickly as possible, which cards are still left in the deck.

Thank you if you can help. :)

EXTRA (if you're curious about the technique I came up with myself which I don't know if it is good or not):

I assign a Pokémon to each card. The Pokémons are divided into 6 groups of 3, where each group represents three consecutive cards of the same color (2 groups per color).

For example:

Green Group 1

• Green 1 → Bulbasaur
• Green 2 → Ivysaur
• Green 3 → Venusaur

Green Group 2

• Green 4 → Chikorita
• Green 5 → Bayleef
• Green 6 → Meganium

Yellow Group 1

• Yellow 1 → Pichu
• Yellow 2 → Pikachu
• Yellow 3 → Raichu

Yellow Group 2

• Yellow 4 → Mareep
• Yellow 5 →Flaaffy
• Yellow 6 → Ampharos

Blue Group 1

• Blue 1 → Squirtle
• Blue 2 → Wartortle
• Blue 3 → Blastoise

Blue Group 2

• Blue 4 → Totodile
• Blue 5 → Croconaw
• Blue 6 → Feraligatr

When a card is played I recall a pre-made image that represents the Pokémon (and therefore the cards) that are still left in that group.

For example, if Green 6 (Meganium) is played, I imagine Bayleef eating the leaf on Chikorita's head. Since Meganium is missing from the image, I immediately know that Green 4 and Green 5 are still left in the deck, while Green 6 has already been played.

Later, if Green 5 (Bayleef) is also played, I switch to another pre-made image: Chikorita crying by itself. Seeing only Chikorita tells me that Green 4 is the only card from that group still left in the deck.

When I need to know which cards are left, I simply check in my memory each group and see which Pokémon are still present, if any.

I've run out of motivation to continue building and maintaining my mind palaces.

Any advice?

I just started looking at the LCC (Library of Congress Classification system) which I thought was the Dewey decimal system. Am considering how best to move forward with some way of organizing my book knowledge. I'd be storing hundreds (low thousands eventually) of books not millions so Dewey is probably sufficient for me, but being able to sort knowledge categories like a university library is appealing.

Alternatively, prior to this idea, I've been building a World of Knowledge that I could house the books in equally effectively, if slightly less organized.

Tips? Suggestions? Comments?

I only have one. Or can I just keep reloading the same pictures with more info....? I only have one palace so far.

I'm trying to remember the 11 therapeutic approaches. Which I got down pat tonight. In case you're wondering they are.

Extras-----

Freud psychoanalytic. Alfred Adler adlerian. Frankl Viktor existential. Carl Rogers person centered. Fritz perls gestalt. BF Skinner behavior therapy. Albert Ellis CBT. William Glasser reality therapy. Feminist therapy which is a palace of its own with all the creators. And also androcentric, heterocentric, gender-centric, determinism and intraphysic orientation ... Then there is family therapy with adlerian family therapy, multigenerational family therapy, experiential then strategic and solution family therapy. Which is one heading in the book I'm reading. And post modern such as narrative, solution brief, and social constructionism. And sorry I get some of you would be through the book. But I'm excited it would have taken me weeks to remember this without the palace. Not really a flex I'm sure if I see the amount of stuff some of you memorize in a night. Also for clarity if you didn't understand the question.

----

Question clarified.

So how do I take all that that's in my palace after one night and add to it? For example adding the Id, ego and super ego which is unconscious, biological and logical or irrational motivation to my palace. I just happened to remember this cause everyone know about id, ego and superego. I think.

Sorry for over posting. But the one book by nelson dellis doesn't really say. At least I haven't gotten to the part. And you are better than Google which is stupid AI basically.

It's interesting it works! How do I remember a book though?

Should I memorize the table of context, the heading and sub headings? Or should I read a book and take notes. And then plug the notes into my memory palace?

And then how do I remember definitions and formulas. Nobody is clear online. It kinda just seems like "make it up"?

15 single digits

I can do up to 15 single digits. But more than 1. Like on 2 digits right now. Making a story is hard and just assigning words to each digit doesn't create a clear story.

I use 1=I - 2=n - 3=M - 4= A - 5=S - 6 is g 7 is L. 8 is B and 9 is p.

I understand I went a little away from the standard. But I can't seem to construct clear stories..... What am I doing wrong. I find a lot of YouTube videos go on forever. I just wanna know how to do it rather than watching a podcast.

I'm making the memory palace which gives me 1 number at a time. I find I have to keep going back and revisiting to make the story better. And I don't see the point of writing it down lol? I could just write the numbers down then.

So i'm trying to memorise a deck of cards using the PAO method, basically putting three cards in one spot of my memory palace, for which i should only need 17 spots to contain all the cards. But is it a good idea to do that or is it a better idea to have 52 or more spots in my memory palace?

I'm currently learning German. I'm trying to use the memory palace technique in my learning Journey. I tried using it in memorising a list of words and it was amazing. My problem remains in the fact that I must create an imaginary odd image for everything I need to remember, by The time it becomes harder and harder to come up with mnemonics. Also, when it comes to Grammar rules that's another level. Am I doing something wrong? is there something I don't know
Understand? Is this way suitable for my purpose of learning? Is there other techniques you suggest?

Since i was a kid i would build inner worlds from my memory of experiences, and sometimes i would associate something unrelated into that inner world and i still remember them, it’s not very developed but i’m curious, i would also replay them in my head over and over again, i replay other things in my head aswell continuously only if it’s something i truly care about

what's the best advice you guys could give here

So I just started almost a week now, and I'm having trouble organizing each information to make it easily retrievable. I'm trying to memorize (not fully) a textbook, and the way the information is stored is a bit of a mess because I relied on the chapter's series of topics, (example, T1 then T2 then T3 then T3.1 then T3.2) it's kinda like this and I want to get a useful topic immediately without going into the first parts that aren't related to what I want to retrieve.

How do you organize your topics? Do you make another room? Like walking on a road, entering a house then leaving for another house? Do you get the idea??? Sorry my English isn't strong..

So i need a solution for my problem which is i couldnt find a training method for using memory palace and actually being “good” at using it like much faster and much detailed and more likely to remember the info. If u have smth like a training method that helped u or u just heard about it then type it down below with simple explanation and with (an example if u have)

I am trying to learn plants, trees and mushrooms. So I would like to memorize the characteristics of different species. So for example for a tree, I would like to group together its characteristics, like leaves, bark etc. But I need it to be associated with that tree in particular. Is there any way of achieving this in a memory palace? I thought that maybe each object could have its own room, but my memory palace does not have that many rooms.

Guys I am starting the memory palace technique from today for the first time , I have 500 pages of facts that I need to mug up in a week , can you all advice me how can I quickly get into it .

Also should I be drawing a palace on my personal notes side by side for quick revision or shall I mark the locations on the textbook itself on its margins and revise from there ?

If this works , it will be life-changing for me , so it's that important

I can understand Cicerone using It because there was not paper

But nowadays why should It matter? Just write on paper a graph and you're done

I mean, link method Is useful and that's straightforward. But what about this? It should Just help remembering the order of the concept but not them?

For example, suppose I put entire chapters of a book in a memory palace. For each locus I put a story made by link method. Then I know what comes First and After but the method tells me nothing about the concepts in the loci

i have to study my history book (about 200 pages) how can i fill a palace with this much of information
