At a glance ❏ don't try to memorize ❏ need a technique ❏ five pieces of furniture in each room ❏ turn it into a picture ❏ store the data ❏ create pictures

don't try to memorize As you're reading but instead read with a highlighter or a marker and underline or highlight the keywords as you're reading or take note as you're reading but don't try to memorize as you read

need a technique Or a tool called the mind palace so it's called the method of loci essentially what it is is you memorize a map of a room stand in the doorway of every room in your house and.

five pieces of furniture in each room the first room you might one two three four five it might be desk bed TV picture plant then go to the next room in number that room six seven eight nine and ten good things will be desks or chairs or computers or windows or showers or sinks this is your mind. Palace and this is actually going to hold the data that you are memorizing in the book which leads us to.

turn it into a picture umber three step number three is whatever you want to remember you need to turn it into a picture let's say you reading a book about Abraham Lincoln the picture for Abraham Lincoln could be a penny because Abraham Lincoln is on the penny and maybe you want to remember who is born in Kentucky so you're going to need a picture for Kentucky maybe you would use the Kentucky Derby and maybe you want to remember he was the 16th president you need to create a picture for 16 and you might use a car for that because you get your driver's license when you're 16 years old so everything you have highlighted or everything you have underlined you're going to need to create pictures for to remember those highlighted or underlined words pretty easy right alright let's move on to next steps

store the data Step number four step number four is as you use the pieces of furniture in your room to store the data the first point that you want to memorize is Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky so you think of a penny and a penny is racing around the Kentucky Derby now you take that picture and you put it on the first piece of furniture in your house maybe the first piece of furniture in your house is a table so a penny racing around the Kentucky Derby the second thing you want to remember is Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president so you see a penny for Lincoln in the penny is driving a car for 16 and you see that on the second piece of furniture which may be the refrigerator you see a penny driving a car around the refrigerator every point did you have underlined you turn into a picture and you would see on pieces of furniture around your house five in a room and that's how

create pictures for the date for example maybe you use a cupid for Valentine's Day for February for March you might use soldiers marching to remember the month of March April showers to remember the month of April so that's an optional sixth step creating a pictures for the months to remember important dates if you're reading a history book so in recap number one don't memorize as you read but instead highlight or underline as you read number two create a mind Palace locations in room where you're going to store the data
