Mnemonic Tip 2- Convert Digits into Words
Remembering phrases is easier than remembering a series of digits. Similarly whole words are easier to remember than just single letters. So try to convert single digits and letters into words and then out them into memorable sentences.
The reason these are more memorable than digits or letters alone is that there is no meaning, no reference point to a single number or a letter, and so they don’t make much of an impression on our minds. Actors can remember whole scripts, some then remember these for the rest of their lives. They can do this because the words, the phrases, have such a clear meaning to them; they are characters and stories. If they tried to remember the same amount of information in the form of just numbers or letters they would have no chance.
This is an important aspect to all of these mnemonic devices, moving information of little meaning, to something of greater meaning.
For example we can turn the digits 0 1 8 2 4 into the phrase “Only One Crate of beer tonight for me”. Here I have converted the numbers into words in the following way:
Only= 0 or Zero
One= 1
Crate=8 (here I am using only a phonetically similar word, but still this is more than enough to make it memorable and link us back to the number 8.)
Tonight= Two
For= Four
This was quite straight forward for just five digits. But for longer series of digits, such as a whole phone number, the same process applies. Take your time to practice this on your own phone number now, or maybe create a random series of digits, and then code it into a sentence. It will seem difficult at first, but with a small amount of practice you can quickly become adept at this method.
The exact same process can be applied to letters. Perhaps the letters H P become the words “Harry Potter”. And so, if you wanted to remember the code 01824HP you could encode it into the phrase:
‘“Only one crate of beer tonight for me” said Harry Potter.’
Read it a few times aloud to yourself then turn into an image in your mind, visualize it clearly; picture Harry Potter sat drinking beer at a bar, then saying this as he burps loudly. Creating a visual image will cause the phrase to route more deeply into your mind as you are creating a clear memory, and building a still deeper and stronger collection of new pathways in your mind.
I promise you this image and phrase will be easier to remember than the 5 digits and 2 letters would by themselves.

My flash Cards
I enjoyed reading your books. They're really great books to read and have them in my library. I learned a lot on how to improve my memory and how to utilise the flash cards. I never used them, but I certainly going to use them in my life.

ok
Okay Information but really repetitive I didn’t think the author needed to make half the book about flash cards and would have been a lot better if he went deeper into the mind mapping techniques he discusses.

This book should have been titled something about Flash cards instead of memory really. The entire book is about flash cards. The words “flash cards” are seared in my brain. I won’t forget that! As a somewhat memory book enthusiast you’re better off reading any other memory book I promise. I could easily be convinced this guy cuts holes in flash card and sticks his d*ck through it. Man LOVES flash cards.

Study Routines: short scale
I enjoyed the various themes within the book, and it led to trying some of the ideas that proved practical.
Time box and the Leitner System are insightful methods.

An excellent book on memory tricks
This book has many solid ways to help with memory. It relies heavily on flash cards working through how to use them and then takes you through how to build sets of flash cards. It is a worthwhile read.

easy to understand
It is so easy and understandable to read this book if you don't have a high-level school graduate.
& the book has too many good tips & breaks into too many chapters. For the reader not to get tired.

This is all in all a good book however less emphasis is given to the memory palace technique.
Still I would recommend it to people who have jobs in challenging fields such as law, medicine and engineering.
