You are just amazing. You are helping everyone.. Keep it up. Hope the pandemic gets over soon opening millions of doors of possibilities of you and your family.
Hi! 😊 Can I ask, when you are creating a story around your memory place. Do you note down parts of the story on paper or do you just try to think of the whole story in your head? Thank you very much Ms. Woolmer, I love your TedxTalks. Very inspiring❤️... sorry for my bad English. I'm still learning😊🇵🇭
Thank you! I am glad you got something out of the talk. The long answer is the story is done in my head as I go along. (most of the time using a memory palace) When first starting out it is good to do this with simple lists of information that are easy to visualize, with one image to each location but as you get more advanced you can try lists that have words that don't as easily bring an image to mind. You can also start to add a few words to each location. The short answer, start with simple information where you can make the story in your head, then over time make the information memorized slowly harder. I hope that makes it clear, please ask if you need more help :)
Thank you so much for the video! Can you please explain how to use memory palaces for more complicated things like technical information, chess combinations or math formulas.
Hi Diana, thank you for your message. They are for sure subjects that I will be delving into in the future. You are also welcome to join my online group sessions, we go into specifics in those lessons and you can to some extent direct what you want to learn. www.anastasiawoolmer.com/book-online
Do you use Loci (e.g. front door) only for SEQUENCE, i.e. something to just trigger an image in the right order, OR, for an actual NUMBER itself? I am getting confused between e.g. adding characters 00-99 for the Dominic Method (or Major System) versus the Loci within a Memory Palace (especially as I add new sub-Loci to the MP, gets soooo confusing to re-do everything)!!! Be so great to get a video on this... none of the other major memory channels have addressed this specific thing (except for Lynne Kelly, but I believe she uses Journey method plus Dominic, with numbers only at key journey milestones e.g. every 10, 100, etc). Problem I find with having the Loci actually BE ther number, not just for sequence, is I get inteference and I cannot "move" the Loci, they're static by nature, unlike using characters or objects, which can follow me or re-appear on my journey!
@luke1525 thanks for the in depth question. I'd love to help get to the bottom of this and explain but think the answer is beyond this comments section. Please email me with your timezone and some times that work to meet (my email is on my website - check the link in the channel description) and we can set up a quick zoom chat ☺
Does it matter if your memory palaces are from years ago in a different part of the world, where they’ve left a good impression, but the pathways between rooms might be hazy, or you might not have been able to access all of the rooms?
@BarKeegan I have some palaces that I visited over 20 years ago while travelling and while only just remember the pathway and what I believe the place looked like they work fine. Our memory can almost recreate a place and is good at filling in the gaps. Even if your memory is not quite true (ie there was no chair there) over time your brain will just see it as truly existing like that. Just be sure to make the pathway and locations exciting and different - ie different height locations, unusual locations, different size locations and also note how you think the 'feel' of the location would be (ie dark, bright, dusty, cold). Hope that helps, any more q's just let me know.
If you wanted to learn a list of sports stars, and a way to memorise stats associated with them, how would you go about visualising that? Should I come up with symbols to represent: Height, weight, speed, goals per season etc. and just drop those in to punctuate stories I have come up for the players at each loci?
@BarKeegan you are absolutely on the right track. I would first put each sports star at a location in a memory palace. Once solid I would go back and add other stats to each star. Here symbol images to represent repeating themes are great, just be sure to make the 'stories' that these images represent at each location unique and that they make sense to that star, without this it will be too repetitive and again will be hard to remember...hope that makes sense? Email me if not, happy to explain in more depth :)
Thankyou, this is just what I needed. Good explaining too.
Please make video on how to create a lot of memory palce
Hi James, thank you. Good idea, I'll put it on the list!
@@Anastasia_Woolmer yes please
Wow super explained
Thank you for sharing and offering a realistic view on the technique.
You are welcome, glad to help!
Thanks for the excellent video, I'm looking forward to your future videos where you talk about using memory palaces for long term storage.
Thank you very much for this video. Learnt few new things about memory palace from you today.
Thank you :) Glad that it helped!
Wow, bit late to this, but certainly better late than never..... This is amazing! Thank you!
You are very welcome, its never too late :)
Please make a video on making memorable images in memory palace.
You are just amazing. You are helping everyone.. Keep it up. Hope the pandemic gets over soon opening millions of doors of possibilities of you and your family.
Thank you Seema!

good
How can we use memory palace for learning a chapter line by line?
Can you please make a video with examples
Yes sure, I will add it to the list :)
@@Anastasia_Woolmer thanks so much ma'am

@@Anastasia_Woolmer I didn’t think of getting into detail for the ‘feel’ of the place
