Have you ever had an experience in which you smell something and your memory instantly takes you back to another time? The smell is a link to the experience. Or has hearing a song released a whole stream of memories in your mind? We can take conscious control of this principle to create another system for our memory skills toolbox. This is the first system that I ever learned, and it introduced me to my memory potential. It worked so well that it seemed like a trick and ever since that day I have been amazed by the power of my memory. It is called the “peg method” of memory.
