A few years ago, my friends and I tried the Method of Loci to memorize a list of random objects by placing them virtually in a familiar room. Surprisingly, this method worked really well; we had way better recall than just trying to remember the list without any strategy.


Yep it’s an incredible technique. I use it to remember key ideas from audiobooks, long enough to jot them down, sometimes the next day. Incredibly powerful
