The Memory Palace technique utilizes the fact that we are extremely good at remembering places we know. I have used this technique for quiet some time now and can recommend it to everyone. At first it takes some practice but it totally pays off.😄
Because I was so fascinated by Sherlock's mindpalace in BBC's Sherlock I started creating one myself and now I lay/ sit down every evening questioning myself "What new information did you learn today?" because specaily for beginners I think it can be quite hard to add stuff to your mindpalace when you're surrounded by people and noises (For example in school) basically if I know I won't be able to remember something all day I just quickly write it down to look at it later. I also startet with deduction and it both fascinates my so much, go try it out yourself.😁(In the beginning it was hard for me and I sometimes even got little headaches but you'll get better at it) I hope I could help you. Have a wonderful day everyone.
I used one of the memory techniques to memorise all the two letter words in Scrabble (107). It took a couple of hours but it is amazing when you use it. Sadly one friend I played with got upset and said I was cheating. It's called learning, and is not cheating. I also used it on a short health and safety exam and was the first to finish and the only student to get 100%. It is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the video.
I used this for Spanish vocabulary and it worked like a charm, I would mentally walk through a room and place the letters to a new word on furniture, the key was to have the English word first bouncing or jumping around, then the letters of the word in Spanish each a different size and doing something crazy. I always got 100% on the tests.
I made a mind palace in April during the quarantine but I never used it because I thought I needed more practice. But yesterday I had a huge exam and there were a lot of list things that I couldnt remember so I decided to use it for one of the lists. And it actually worked really well!!! I was so excited and now I want to use it more

Memory palaces are best suited for permanent storage, akin to sectors of a hard drive that is holding archival data. Peg systems, linked lists, A-Z system, major system, etc are better for temporary storage, more akin to volatile memory like RAM that is periodically flushed. Reserve memory palaces for that which you truly wish to keep permanent (as it is more time-consuming and mentally taxing to flush such memory and re-assign the data).
I think Mind Palace is gonna be a lot more easier to learn for people with lead or auxiliary masculine Ne. I just found out that I have masculine Ne and tried to remember 16 random numbers. That worked quite well, so I tried it again and put 16 numbers on top. Results: I could remember 32 numbers really quick. Works for me
My mind palace is my own home. I just imagine my home with more spacious rooms, but the same layout. It’s super familiar, and in my opinion the easiest way to make a mind palace.
That scene when Watson is explaining to the lady who asked about what the Mind Palace is, it really got me. Watson: it’s like a house of some sort, where he puts the objects he’s trying to remember. Lady: Why does he call it a palace?
I'll be using this Technique to Remember Things i have to commit to Memory. Especially Math Things. Normally, I'm Good at commiting Things to Memory, but when it comes to Math, i just can't do it. (I have dyscalculia) This is extremely helpfull, Thank you!
If you want to remember a deck of cards, a memory palace alone is tricky as you aren't really going to have 52 distinctive places in your house to use. So what you need to do is apply multiple cards to each station, using the PAO or similar methods. If you are wondering how many memory palaces to invent, about a dozen is fine. You can cycle through different ones. I work in a massive hospital so use that to learn cardiology stuff as part of my job. I'll use my house for other stuff. And my walk for yet more stuff. But mnemonics and active recall are usually sufficient to learn stuff - Loci is more of a back up.
just a year ago i did a psychotest (is that what its called in English lmao), and my speciality is visual spacial so this technique is the perfect technique to learn for me, cuz of my ability to visualize things quickly I'm able to use this technique with only like a book or something, but sometimes the hard part in this technique is actually getting yourself to do it, cuz you know it'll be a bit more work to do than lets say feyman, it sometimes make me don't wanna do it
I mean I'm a doctor MD in internal medicine and doing PhD in Neurology..i have like literally tens of thousands of pages of info.. I will need mind village or even city.. Otherwise how may I put all those info in
Ill do this to my study methods. In a few months ill be taking a big step for my life. If desperation yields results and pressure makes diamonds. I hope my efforts wont be in vain.
This method seems really usefull when it comes to memorising lists of objects, dates and events than can be very well depicted in the mind's eye, but how does it work when you have to memorise a certain bulk of text. I mean putting five images in a room to represent five playing cards, or five items on a shopping list is easy and doable. What do you do when you have to memorise an entire paragraph of text i.e i am a medical student and want to study for my exam in surgery where i have both a written and oral examination and have to be able to reproduce the information perfectly from start to finish. If i have to make up an image for every single word it would take me hours to get through a single paragraph not to mention that i'd need not a house or palace, but an entire city

I read no that long ago that we cannot learn a text by heart with this method because all the words are in an order prederminated in the text while the mind palace allow us to start by any facts on this text or just pass through some of them. So in fact u don't need to associate one word with one image but just use a particular image that correspond to an idea of u're text.
Wow. This is way different from my mind palace. I can literally rewind all the images of my life in my mind. It's kinda like doing an instant replay in my head. I can remember where everything I see in a room for up to about a month. I can also remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs. Also, these said songs can invoke vivid memories of my life down to the very temperature. But I still can't seem to remember why I walked to the kitchen.
I have Asperger's Autism. And I think all my life has been like this. You see things and for years. your in your mind Palace trying to figure everything out. And threw out the years you come out of a mental state as each thing you process gets solved. But in certain times. You wake up like out of a Dream state. And years has went by. Your older. And think to yourself.where has time gone. Then your back in it. As a part of you goes threw out your day living life. The other is in a room in your mind. Still going threw everything. And life has been going by without you knowing where in time you are. You are here now. But you're somewhere else just spinning in place, processing . Daily life. Like some are living today. But missing the past. As for me I'm in the past. Just walking on auto pilot today. Just trying to find a way to stay in the moment of what's already gone. But the mind is life's greatest mistory. And that's not easy for me to understand. Still trying to figure out God's plan for me. Hoping I'm on the right road of destiny. Never knowing who I am. Trying to figure it out. So I can just be a Man that God would be happy with. I'm James. It's 2024 July 4 4.54 am. Happy independence day. Jesus is the only way. You just got to find the light he puts along your way. ✝️
This skill is very useful and ive been using it for about a decade. I learned it from mega memory course. I learned very quickly though don't bother trying to memorize a lot like you mentioned in number 5. Focus on whats really useful or important. Things for work most likely. Mnemonics work very well also along with other memory tricks. Funny thing is this was actually invented by the greeks around 3000 years ago in the roman era. I find it odd how this isnt taught more in school.
SO many unanswered questions: How do you come up with objects to represent each thing and remember what each is and is it actually faster to go through this work than just to memorize normally? What do you do when you run out of slots in your memory palace? Do they normally have 52 or more slots? How many slots should a memory palace have? How do you prevent different lists of the same type from getting mixed together? The video says to use different palaces for different types of info, but it seems far more likely that similar types of info would get mixed and confused than different types of info. If you have to make a whole new palace for each list of a similar type, then this technique would quickly become useless when trying to use it for say multiple tests within a single major or multiple scripts as an actor or public speaker, etc.
When I first watched this video and others a few years ago I had the same questions. I hope the following helps you if you're still struggling. This worked for me, but it did not work for my friend doing the same technique: I was initially trying to remember a lot of mobile phone numbers. What I would do is write them with big letters on pieces of A5 paper. I would then go to the library (my number mind palace is my favourite library) with my friend and I would go and select some books. Very specific books. He would then place each of the pieces of paper in the right book and I would go around opening the book to find the number there. It burned the memory a lot faster and now it's even harder to forget. I have over 100 phone numbers stored in that library. My friend tried it but said the numbers get muddled up. He prefers associating every part of a number to an object and keeps them in boxes in his basement mind palace. For example one of the boxes contains a black bible, a pistol and something else. I remember the bible was for 666 (black=999) and the pistol was a 5-7 and I dont remember the rest of his items. Edit: I asked him about it and he explained it deeper: The picture on the box represented the person whose phone it was. A weed plant for his dealer. The thousand-eyes recluse for me (we played yugioh as kids and that was my favourite card). So once you find the correct box, it has 3-4 items which are layered in order to make the number. We live in Bulgaria so most numbers start with 08, a common start is 0876 which he said is represented by a small ruler (because the ruler is straight, just like the sequence 876 is linear). Say you wanted to remember the number 0876783457 (not an actual number), he would have the following in the box: A ruler (see prev) on top of a birthday cake candle with the number 2 (means the last 2 numbers reversed), a p0rn magazine (34=rule 34), and underneath all that a 5-7 pistol for the 5-7. Other ones he uses are: 50 = desert eagle, 9 or 09 = glock, 45 =magum revolver, 35 = p0rn sketch (see rule 35), 420 obvious, 666=bible, 999=black bible, 112=cop badge, 88=picture of hitler (88 is some neonazi shit but you dont have to agree with it to make it work for u), 96 or 1996, picture of me (my birth year, 76=american flag etc etc etc whatever works for you In any case, the technique depends on what you want to remember and how you're used to consuming information.
My mind palace or mind castle, is small organized room in My Minecraft survival game that i still remember from years ago. It had optimized Layout but small enough sets of chest around the room, so I use Those chest as my mind palace and also the furnace below them and a room behind which also has a room
I understand how this could be used for things like lists, but what about more complex things like notes? For example, if I am trying to remember that Cherokee and Iroquois formed federations, could this technique be applied and if so, how?
Imagine they form the federation in your living room. U walk in and they look at u like ur crazy. U will leave your living room but u will never forget that. Doubly, ur living room will forever remind u of the federation. Create a crazy scene like this for every room or spot in your house. Before you know it the entire house is a memory museum for your specific era of history. use another house/place for other eras. The thing I'm having trouble with is what to do when I run out of places I'm very familiar with.
I have a very strong imagination. Over the time of my life it got stronger. I have a modern mansion, outline with gold. Surround by forest with tall oak trees. Interior is modern/expensive furniture. It's a three story (included basement) but the most unique thing is my office on the second floor to the right above the entrance. Every time I wanna store anything. I walk into the house to my office and pull out a notebook. I have multiple notebooks for different subjects, etc. Example: (any math equation goes in my labeled (Math) notebook) same goes for songs, dreams, science, etc. I pull out the desired notebook. All my notebooks are nicely put up in like school office mail box. I write whatever it is down, basically telling my brain "hey this is important, don't throw it away" . I can easily remember what ever it is and if I still struggle. I go back into the house and office and look in the notebook and it comes right back to me and appears on the notebook. They way I wrote it and where I wrote it on the paper. I been doing this for only a week;First day I instantly started building within my palace more and more.

That's normal, it's a bad habit most of us do, I always forget where's my personal stuff cuz i just throw it where ever One of the best solutions is to put that specific thing always in a particular place, for ex. I always leave my wallet in my hand bag, and tried hard in the beginning to be committed, so i always know it's there now My keys always on my desk or in my hand bag, same with my phone And etc, so forgetting where u left ur personal stuff is just a bad habit that could be dealt with
Do you think train stations could be a best place for memory palace? It seems that these stations were already arranged and can be easily organize into numerical order. What do you think?
I wonder if you create a trash can next to each item you memorize in the room first, then create your needed memories like a 'deck of cards' you could train your brain to throw away those memories of cards and create new 'needed' memories like numbers?
I'm wondering if you prefer this over the peg system. The peg system seems much easier to use. I'm going to try the Mind Palace, it just seems like a lot of work. What are your thoughts about the 2 systems?
In some strange strange way I'm..... combining the mind palace, Internal Family Systems, and Minecraft all into one. Of course, I'm not necessarily using it for memory since it's main focus is..... like.... on working out emotions and whatnot, but having a place for each of these "parts" to inhabit is already fascinating
This process sounds insane... Memorable objects to relate other stuff you're trying to memorize? Definitely sounds like a lot of work. I'm not sure how I'd use that in a practical setting. I need to memorize a 32pg script to present a 1hr presentation word for word, with examples and questions... I was thinking acrostic menomonics...any other methods that may be faster? I got 5 days. And I haven't memorized a long set of info... Ever. Maybe times tables in 2nd grade?... That I recall was a nightmare as a kid. But this new challenge takes the cake.
Is it possible to change the purpose of a mind palace? Like use the same room and items to remember different things. For example I use use my kitchen to remember history facts for a test but later, when I don't want or need to remember them, I use the kitchen to remember something else.
This is similar to what I do but mine is basically a library . I use no markers or objects to associate with. It's limited. Each book I can only see the first page but I can recall it visually
The problem I have with this, for example with cards, is that I can easily visualize rooms and stuff happening, but I would need to link every card to some object first and I can't remember that list
Can we use the same mind palace and objects to remember totally different information each time? Or do you need a different mind palace for each set of info?
Hi, is it necessary to vary the locatión when memorizing different topics? Or could I just use the same map and the same people to learn different things? That would it make it harder to do?
So, what should we do when our memory palace is very small and has very little objects to be numbered??? should we have to switch to another palace and continue with the flow?
I haven’t created one yet.. but no not unless you want to.. you could just keep adding to your mind palace, add extra rooms, decorate it however you want.. add extra cabinets etc also you can make your mind palace as big as you want.
I don't necessarily put my information into a visual form or follow an order through my palace, I just sort of leave the information in a chair or in one case by my guitar and I just go retrieve it whenever I need it. Have I been mind palacing wrong?
So when I'm creating a mind Palace for instance I pick my home as my palace and choose four objects to use in my palace. What happens to the other objects which i haven't selected ?
can you use the same room to a different list of things ( example: my room = german vocabulary , and when i am done, use my room to my room= math theory)?
what if I need to memorize many things of the same topic. 4-5 seems very little, even without a mind palace, I'll probably be fine. Its more of memorizing 20-30 things where I start having trouble.
I have a question please. How do you use the same furniture in your house repeatedly. I get confused. Memories start to mix up when I use the same list of furniture for different lists of words.
I have a question. How does one put together the stories too store the information? I have chosen objects but when it comes to memorizing a deck of cards it proves to be more challanging than thatg (he memorizes a deck of cards in the intro so i guess kts relevant). How does one so quickly link together the objects, that is my question, in a deck of cards there are 56 objects, and he scrolls trough the cards with his hands so fast. Please any help would be appriciated, how do you go about making your story, for example to memorize a long list of code or a long list of cards, any suggestions?

I find memory palaces amazing and facinating! But I dont know with which information I could fill it. I have a job where I dont need to remember "lists" oder "numbers". I could do it just to train my mind, but I'm wondering if threre are more possibilites...
I assume that I can change the information in the mental palace at will as long as I follow the given path. Can I create a mini mental palace (cube with a door) and place it in a position in another palace and have one mini palace in the big palace?

You could use a mind palace for multiple things in the same day as long as the data is not the same category
For example
You memorize a deck of cards , you could then use the same locations to memorize the presidents directly after with no confusion
But if it’s the same type of data you should switch to a different mind palace

I reccomend making a simple starting one then creating a large permanent one that you can store all of your important stuff in
Memory palaces are best suited for permanent storage, akin to sectors of a hard drive that is holding archival data. Peg systems, linked lists, A-Z system, major system, etc are better for temporary storage, more akin to volatile memory like RAM that is periodically flushed. Reserve memory palaces for that which you truly wish to keep permanent (as it is more time-consuming and mentally taxing to flush such memory and re-assign the data).
I think Mind Palace is gonna be a lot more easier to learn for people with lead or auxiliary masculine Ne. I just found out that I have masculine Ne and tried to remember 16 random numbers. That worked quite well, so I tried it again and put 16 numbers on top. Results: I could remember 32 numbers really quick. Works for me
Are you talking MBTI?
@@CuriouslyCute yes
My mind palace is my own home. I just imagine my home with more spacious rooms, but the same layout. It’s super familiar, and in my opinion the easiest way to make a mind palace.
What if you're studying two subjects? Don't things/concepts/facts might be mixed with one another?
@@markkian8551 maybe he reuses it
That scene when Watson is explaining to the lady who asked about what the Mind Palace is, it really got me.
Watson: it’s like a house of some sort, where he puts the objects he’s trying to remember.
Lady: Why does he call it a palace?
"Yeah, well, he would, wouldn't he?"
I'll be using this Technique to Remember Things i have to commit to Memory.
Especially Math Things.
Normally, I'm Good at commiting Things to Memory, but when it comes to Math, i just can't do it.
(I have dyscalculia)
This is extremely helpfull, Thank you!
What about combining memory palaces and lucid dreams? Like going to your memory palace in lucid dreams to remember it better
ImAchili seems like a good idea but I don’t know how to lucid dream
That would be really good if you can master lucid dreaming
That would be really cool
Ye but you can only access it at the night. So you can add like your daily plan in there or things you need to remember for months
Better not dream about cards. Freddy Krueger is part of my deck.
If you want to remember a deck of cards, a memory palace alone is tricky as you aren't really going to have 52 distinctive places in your house to use. So what you need to do is apply multiple cards to each station, using the PAO or similar methods. If you are wondering how many memory palaces to invent, about a dozen is fine. You can cycle through different ones. I work in a massive hospital so use that to learn cardiology stuff as part of my job. I'll use my house for other stuff. And my walk for yet more stuff. But mnemonics and active recall are usually sufficient to learn stuff - Loci is more of a back up.
1:26 i know because about 3 seconds ago you told me where i put my things. Thank you.
just a year ago i did a psychotest (is that what its called in English lmao), and my speciality is visual spacial so this technique is the perfect technique to learn for me, cuz of my ability to visualize things quickly I'm able to use this technique with only like a book or something, but sometimes the hard part in this technique is actually getting yourself to do it, cuz you know it'll be a bit more work to do than lets say feyman, it sometimes make me don't wanna do it
I mean I'm a doctor MD in internal medicine and doing PhD in Neurology..i have like literally tens of thousands of pages of info.. I will need mind village or even city.. Otherwise how may I put all those info in
😅
good luck :)
Not true, you can make ’underpalaces’, you make a palace where you store the palaces that have different kinds of info
"mind state"
@@erixtf4413 are you a doctor??
Ill do this to my study methods. In a few months ill be taking a big step for my life. If desperation yields results and pressure makes diamonds. I hope my efforts wont be in vain.
did it worked for you ?
Was just about to look up your video again! Kudos for another great video!
This method seems really usefull when it comes to memorising lists of objects, dates and events than can be very well depicted in the mind's eye, but how does it work when you have to memorise a certain bulk of text. I mean putting five images in a room to represent five playing cards, or five items on a shopping list is easy and doable. What do you do when you have to memorise an entire paragraph of text i.e i am a medical student and want to study for my exam in surgery where i have both a written and oral examination and have to be able to reproduce the information perfectly from start to finish. If i have to make up an image for every single word it would take me hours to get through a single paragraph not to mention that i'd need not a house or palace, but an entire city

I read no that long ago that we cannot learn a text by heart with this method because all the words are in an order prederminated in the text while the mind palace allow us to start by any facts on this text or just pass through some of them. So in fact u don't need to associate one word with one image but just use a particular image that correspond to an idea of u're text.
Thanks for this! I'm excited to try it with some difficult subjects in school!
Interesting that the layout of the drawings in this video could even be a mini-mind palace for the script/main points of the video
Wow. This is way different from my mind palace. I can literally rewind all the images of my life in my mind. It's kinda like doing an instant replay in my head. I can remember where everything I see in a room for up to about a month. I can also remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs. Also, these said songs can invoke vivid memories of my life down to the very temperature. But I still can't seem to remember why I walked to the kitchen.
I am here just after seeing the Sherlock's mind palace
I have Asperger's Autism. And I think all my life has been like this. You see things and for years. your in your mind Palace trying to figure everything out. And threw out the years you come out of a mental state as each thing you process gets solved. But in certain times. You wake up like out of a Dream state. And years has went by. Your older. And think to yourself.where has time gone. Then your back in it. As a part of you goes threw out your day living life. The other is in a room in your mind. Still going threw everything. And life has been going by without you knowing where in time you are. You are here now. But you're somewhere else just spinning in place, processing . Daily life. Like some are living today. But missing the past. As for me I'm in the past. Just walking on auto pilot today. Just trying to find a way to stay in the moment of what's already gone. But the mind is life's greatest mistory. And that's not easy for me to understand. Still trying to figure out God's plan for me. Hoping I'm on the right road of destiny. Never knowing who I am. Trying to figure it out. So I can just be a Man that God would be happy with. I'm James. It's 2024 July 4 4.54 am. Happy independence day. Jesus is the only way. You just got to find the light he puts along your way. ✝️
Can confirm this works, the visual image was imprinted directly into my brain, just follow the steps.
i’m able to understand the concept of mind palaces very well but when it comes to applying it to real world scenarios i can’t do it
Same
Do it over and over and I'm sure you'll be able to grasp it. Good luck
This skill is very useful and ive been using it for about a decade. I learned it from mega memory course. I learned very quickly though don't bother trying to memorize a lot like you mentioned in number 5. Focus on whats really useful or important. Things for work most likely. Mnemonics work very well also along with other memory tricks. Funny thing is this was actually invented by the greeks around 3000 years ago in the roman era. I find it odd how this isnt taught more in school.
Can we use same place for storing multiple things like vocabularies, numbers etc?
Just meditate and it works y'all
SO many unanswered questions:
How do you come up with objects to represent each thing and remember what each is and is it actually faster to go through this work than just to memorize normally?
What do you do when you run out of slots in your memory palace?
Do they normally have 52 or more slots?
How many slots should a memory palace have?
How do you prevent different lists of the same type from getting mixed together?
The video says to use different palaces for different types of info, but it seems far more likely that similar types of info would get mixed and confused than different types of info. If you have to make a whole new palace for each list of a similar type, then this technique would quickly become useless when trying to use it for say multiple tests within a single major or multiple scripts as an actor or public speaker, etc.
When I first watched this video and others a few years ago I had the same questions. I hope the following helps you if you're still struggling.
This worked for me, but it did not work for my friend doing the same technique:
I was initially trying to remember a lot of mobile phone numbers. What I would do is write them with big letters on pieces of A5 paper. I would then go to the library (my number mind palace is my favourite library) with my friend and I would go and select some books. Very specific books. He would then place each of the pieces of paper in the right book and I would go around opening the book to find the number there. It burned the memory a lot faster and now it's even harder to forget. I have over 100 phone numbers stored in that library.
My friend tried it but said the numbers get muddled up. He prefers associating every part of a number to an object and keeps them in boxes in his basement mind palace. For example one of the boxes contains a black bible, a pistol and something else. I remember the bible was for 666 (black=999) and the pistol was a 5-7 and I dont remember the rest of his items.
Edit: I asked him about it and he explained it deeper: The picture on the box represented the person whose phone it was. A weed plant for his dealer. The thousand-eyes recluse for me (we played yugioh as kids and that was my favourite card). So once you find the correct box, it has 3-4 items which are layered in order to make the number. We live in Bulgaria so most numbers start with 08, a common start is 0876 which he said is represented by a small ruler (because the ruler is straight, just like the sequence 876 is linear). Say you wanted to remember the number 0876783457 (not an actual number), he would have the following in the box: A ruler (see prev) on top of a birthday cake candle with the number 2 (means the last 2 numbers reversed), a p0rn magazine (34=rule 34), and underneath all that a 5-7 pistol for the 5-7. Other ones he uses are: 50 = desert eagle, 9 or 09 = glock, 45 =magum revolver, 35 = p0rn sketch (see rule 35), 420 obvious, 666=bible, 999=black bible, 112=cop badge, 88=picture of hitler (88 is some neonazi shit but you dont have to agree with it to make it work for u), 96 or 1996, picture of me (my birth year, 76=american flag etc etc etc whatever works for you
In any case, the technique depends on what you want to remember and how you're used to consuming information.
My mind palace or mind castle, is small organized room in My Minecraft survival game that i still remember from years ago. It had optimized Layout but small enough sets of chest around the room, so I use Those chest as my mind palace and also the furnace below them and a room behind which also has a room
I understand how this could be used for things like lists, but what about more complex things like notes? For example, if I am trying to remember that Cherokee and Iroquois formed federations, could this technique be applied and if so, how?
Imagine they form the federation in your living room. U walk in and they look at u like ur crazy. U will leave your living room but u will never forget that. Doubly, ur living room will forever remind u of the federation. Create a crazy scene like this for every room or spot in your house. Before you know it the entire house is a memory museum for your specific era of history. use another house/place for other eras. The thing I'm having trouble with is what to do when I run out of places I'm very familiar with.
"Sherlock" is my one of the favorite shows
I AM A MIND PALACE, DR. HAN
I have a very strong imagination. Over the time of my life it got stronger. I have a modern mansion, outline with gold. Surround by forest with tall oak trees. Interior is modern/expensive furniture. It's a three story (included basement) but the most unique thing is my office on the second floor to the right above the entrance. Every time I wanna store anything. I walk into the house to my office and pull out a notebook. I have multiple notebooks for different subjects, etc. Example: (any math equation goes in my labeled (Math) notebook) same goes for songs, dreams, science, etc. I pull out the desired notebook. All my notebooks are nicely put up in like school office mail box. I write whatever it is down, basically telling my brain "hey this is important, don't throw it away" . I can easily remember what ever it is and if I still struggle. I go back into the house and office and look in the notebook and it comes right back to me and appears on the notebook. They way I wrote it and where I wrote it on the paper. I been doing this for only a week;First day I instantly started building within my palace more and more.

i can't even remember where my key is
That's normal, it's a bad habit most of us do, I always forget where's my personal stuff cuz i just throw it where ever
One of the best solutions is to put that specific thing always in a particular place, for ex. I always leave my wallet in my hand bag, and tried hard in the beginning to be committed, so i always know it's there now
My keys always on my desk or in my hand bag, same with my phone
And etc, so forgetting where u left ur personal stuff is just a bad habit that could be dealt with
When he came to the map section I was thinking about "Hey I can use Call of duty maps" and then he said the same and I was blown off
Do you think train stations could be a best place for memory palace? It seems that these stations were already arranged and can be easily organize into numerical order. What do you think?
It goes back way past the Greek... The Memory Code is a great book discussing this..
I know about mind palace from tv series, the Mentalist and Sherlock..
I started yesterday. And I want to know that how can I keep informations about people, systems, passwords etc.?
I can do this. I just need a room or something. But I can memorize already fast and I hope this will help me memorize everything even faster.
If you remember a little thing like a shopping list, but afterward you don’t need it anymore. Can you overwrite it with something other?
I wonder if you create a trash can next to each item you memorize in the room first, then create your needed memories like a 'deck of cards' you could train your brain to throw away those memories of cards and create new 'needed' memories like numbers?
I'm wondering if you prefer this over the peg system. The peg system seems much easier to use. I'm going to try the Mind Palace, it just seems like a lot of work. What are your thoughts about the 2 systems?
Hey what did you achieve
In some strange strange way I'm..... combining the mind palace, Internal Family Systems, and Minecraft all into one. Of course, I'm not necessarily using it for memory since it's main focus is..... like.... on working out emotions and whatnot, but having a place for each of these "parts" to inhabit is already fascinating
This process sounds insane... Memorable objects to relate other stuff you're trying to memorize? Definitely sounds like a lot of work. I'm not sure how I'd use that in a practical setting.
I need to memorize a 32pg script to present a 1hr presentation word for word, with examples and questions... I was thinking acrostic menomonics...any other methods that may be faster? I got 5 days. And I haven't memorized a long set of info... Ever. Maybe times tables in 2nd grade?... That I recall was a nightmare as a kid. But this new challenge takes the cake.
Is it possible to change the purpose of a mind palace? Like use the same room and items to remember different things. For example I use use my kitchen to remember history facts for a test but later, when I don't want or need to remember them, I use the kitchen to remember something else.
This is similar to what I do but mine is basically a library . I use no markers or objects to associate with. It's limited. Each book I can only see the first page but I can recall it visually
I don’t know how to do it properly I just keep forgetting everything, does adhd impact the mind palace in anyway?
The art of learning how to learn...
The problem I have with this, for example with cards, is that I can easily visualize rooms and stuff happening, but I would need to link every card to some object first and I can't remember that list
I love the way you talk
Really amazing
Can we use the same mind palace and objects to remember totally different information each time? Or do you need a different mind palace for each set of info?
Hi, is it necessary to vary the locatión when memorizing different topics? Or could I just use the same map and the same people to learn different things? That would it make it harder to do?
Memory Palace po help complexity and creativity po 😇Kolb and VARK learning styles po😇
So, what should we do when our memory palace is very small and has very little objects to be numbered??? should we have to switch to another palace and continue with the flow?
please, do reply.
I haven’t created one yet.. but no not unless you want to.. you could just keep adding to your mind palace, add extra rooms, decorate it however you want.. add extra cabinets etc also you can make your mind palace as big as you want.
So, i need to create new memories by conecting with already well stablished ones, like how my room looks like or the palm of my hand?
Question:
lets say i assign an object a memory, and now I don't need it anymore. do I just re-assign that object?
The Mind Palace Technique can also be a useful way of organizing your thoughts.
how do you do this if you want to study vocabulary? like i have so many words and their meanings (usually 2 meanings)
Hi. which program did you use for video😊
Great video, would also recommend reading “Moonwalking with Einstein” by Joshua Foer
I already feel overwhelmed but you never know if you don't try.
I wonder if I can use a phone instead of a place, since I'm much more familiar with the stuff in my phone, and add an info on each app🤔
I've walked home from work and forgotten that I took the car that day.
Wtf
It took me some time to perfect this memory palace
I get the monkey and the spade part, but how do you use this to help remember that its a #5 card rather than a 6 &9 or some other # in the deck?
I don't necessarily put my information into a visual form or follow an order through my palace, I just sort of leave the information in a chair or in one case by my guitar and I just go retrieve it whenever I need it.
Have I been mind palacing wrong?
As the expression goes: if it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
I loved the presentation, I would like to know which tool was used to create this video.
Thanks for the tips. It's working 🤩
So when I'm creating a mind Palace for instance I pick my home as my palace and choose four objects to use in my palace. What happens to the other objects which i haven't selected ?
can you use the same room to a different list of things ( example: my room = german vocabulary , and when i am done, use my room to my room= math theory)?
Pls how or is there a technique I can o Convert info. To visual info?🥺
what if I need to memorize many things of the same topic. 4-5 seems very little, even without a mind palace, I'll probably be fine. Its more of memorizing 20-30 things where I start having trouble.
should I be closing my eyes while doing this?
If it helps
So to put some information we have to visualize something like a animal or a object but can it also be turn into lettera
The COD BLACK OPS zombie map was so good to me. I am shocked, thanks
I have a question please. How do you use the same furniture in your house repeatedly. I get confused. Memories start to mix up when I use the same list of furniture for different lists of words.
Little late, but try adding attributes, like "red chair" or "small chair"
I have a question.
How does one put together the stories too store the information? I have chosen objects but when it comes to memorizing a deck of cards it proves to be more challanging than thatg (he memorizes a deck of cards in the intro so i guess kts relevant). How does one so quickly link together the objects, that is my question, in a deck of cards there are 56 objects, and he scrolls trough the cards with his hands so fast. Please any help would be appriciated, how do you go about making your story, for example to memorize a long list of code or a long list of cards, any suggestions?

I find memory palaces amazing and facinating! But I dont know with which information I could fill it. I have a job where I dont need to remember "lists" oder "numbers". I could do it just to train my mind, but I'm wondering if threre are more possibilites...
Hi can i memorize Long Answers like History Lessons or Paragraph etc...
I assume that I can change the information in the mental palace at will as long as I follow the given path. Can I create a mini mental palace (cube with a door) and place it in a position in another palace and have one mini palace in the big palace?
Indeed I thank you for your help and effort
