The Eddie Munster Story

If you have attended the Memory Training Workshop, you memorized a story, The Eddie Muster Story which used the Chain of Visulaization to tie together 20 unrelated pieces of information.  When you ‘decode’ the story you find you have memorized representative pictures for 20 names.

Here is the Eddie Munster Story if you need a refresher. The names the images represent are in parenthesis.

*****************************************

Running away, he jumped over a DAM (Adam) and ducked under a BRIDGE (Bridgette) where he ran Read More...

How to Remember Directions

Leah Simpson

How many of you have written down directions to somewhere, and then tried to read them…..while driving…..in the dark? Or even worse, left the directions at home? How about being told directions while you are driving? Good, so I’m not alone! How can we use our memory techniques to make directions easier and safer?

Directions are composed of only a few things: streets, directives (left or right, N, S, E, W) and landmarks. All we need to do is change those into images and glue them to files, and we’re off and running! So here’s what you do:

1. Turn the Streets into Images
Think back to the workshop of how to create images for Read More...

How to Memorize a Calendar

Filed under: Memory Training — Tags: , , , , , , , — Leah Simpson @ 6:00 am

Leah SimpsonThis is one of my favorite applications of memory training. I can’t claim creating it myself, but it is an amazing technique to memorize the calendar.

That’s right, memorize the calendar. You want me to go to a baseball game with you on June 10th? Sorry, the 10th is a Tuesday, and I have Bible study on Tuesdays.Would you like to be able to do that? I am going to explain how. Use this opportunity to file away the calendar for 2008 or any year. Here we go!

First you need a picture for every month. Many months are pretty simple, but use whatever works for you. Go through the year, and pick an image for every month. Remember, any picture works as long as you create it. Here are Read More...
