When choosing locations for these markers, it’s best if you “anchor” your visualizations to specific areas. This could mean the corners of a room, specific pieces of furniture, drawers, or even windows. If needed, you can create very dense memory palaces by using every anchor available. If you do, though, avoid placing multiple markers in the same exact location, such as on the same shelf or pinned up to the same wall. It’s far better to expand your memory palaces outwards than to overstuff them.
