1. Create the Locations
Create a mental journey along a well-known route, for example, through your school or house.
The method of loci is a strategy for memorizing new information. It involves imagining yourself placing pieces of information around a room and then visualizing yourself walking back through to pick the information up.
The method of loci works by giving your brain new information in order and grounding your memory of it to different points in a familiar setting that you can easily navigate in your mind.
Create a mental journey along a well-known route, for example, through your school or house.
Then, take a list of ten items that you want to memorize, and imagine each item in one locus, or location, of your memory palace.
To recall the items, just mentally retrace your route through the memory palace and you should be able to retrieve the data.If you want to store the memorized information for a longer period of time, use repetition and go through the memory palace a few times per day until it sticks.
After you try it with 10 items and can recite them forwards and backwards in order, try expanding your memory palace to 30 locations. After you can recall 30 items in order, experiment with placing two items per location.
