People are rewarded in public for what they practice for years in private

I used one of the memory techniques to memorise all the two letter words in Scrabble (107). It took a couple of hours but it is amazing when you use it. Sadly one friend I played with got upset and said I was cheating. It's called learning, and is not cheating. I also used it on a short health and safety exam and was the first to finish and the only student to get 100%. It is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the video.

The Memory Palace technique utilizes the fact that we are extremely good at remembering places we know. I have used this technique for quiet some time now and can recommend it to everyone. At first it takes some practice but it totally pays off.😄

Because I was so fascinated by Sherlock's mindpalace in BBC's Sherlock I started creating one myself and now I lay/ sit down every evening questioning myself "What new information did you learn today?" because specaily for beginners I think it can be quite hard to add stuff to your mindpalace when you're surrounded by people and noises (For example in school) basically if I know I won't be able to remember something all day I just quickly write it down to look at it later. I also startet with deduction and it both fascinates my so much, go try it out yourself.😁(In the beginning it was hard for me and I sometimes even got little headaches but you'll get better at it) I hope I could help you. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I used this for Spanish vocabulary and it worked like a charm, I would mentally walk through a room and place the letters to a new word on furniture, the key was to have the English word first bouncing or jumping around, then the letters of the word in Spanish each a different size and doing something crazy. I always got 100% on the tests.

I am spooked man I have just finished sherlock holmes yesterday

I made a mind palace in April during the quarantine but I never used it because I thought I needed more practice. But yesterday I had a huge exam and there were a lot of list things that I couldnt remember so I decided to use it for one of the lists. And it actually worked really well!!! I was so excited and now I want to use it more

Thanks for the fun and informative video about memory palaces. I have hundreds that I use for different purposes. I've used houses, apartments, and dorms I've lived in, schools, parks, neighborhoods, workplaces, and even movies and TV episodes as memory palaces. I used them to memorize Pi to about 5,600 places, and have used them in the Long-Term Memory events of the USA Memory Championship, which I've competed in 4 times, finishing as high as 3rd place in this year's competition.

Oh man, this is gonna help me SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH, I can't wait edit: Absolutely confirmed, this helped me tremendously, I was able to recall passages I wrote, word for word, and even out of order I hit every note of 10 passages. Thank you so much!!!!!

Thanks man! I had a ton of fun getting this worked up and working with you on it. Looking forward to working with you more and seeing more of your good content :D

DECIDE ON THE MAP LOCATION: Relate the mind palace with some familiar places. ESTABLISH THE PERMANENT ITEMS: Assign four to five items at the chosen place. DETERMINE YOUR ROUTINE: Number the items and recall them in a pattern. ADD INFORMATION: Add visual details in association with the items. CREATE MORE THAN ONE: Create multiple palaces for different purposes. My crazy passion is to share summaries like started doing it on my channel with PDF summaries ✌ Lets try memory palace technique to see if it really works 🤔

I’m using the dark souls 3 maps. We all know how we all kept dying having to walk that same route over and over

Everyone is talking about Sherlock, but everyone forgets Patrick Jane from the mentalist :(

Your answer at the end about reusing mind palace is not entirely accurate and is definitely incomplete You could use a mind palace for multiple things in the same day as long as the data is not the same category For example You memorize a deck of cards , you could then use the same locations to memorize the presidents directly after with no confusion But if it’s the same type of data you should switch to a different mind palace But....what do I know? :)

For everyone who wants to learn more about the memory palace and using your memory i recommand you read tony buzan books , "control your memory" "and use your memory" and also joshua foer's book "moonwalking with einstein"

What a great suggestion about using video game maps! My students will love this.

Now that I know about this, my teacher taught us this kind of visual memorization called method of loci before for us to improve our memorization. I didnt listen well but now am regreting bypassing such wonderful memorization technique.

Was just about to look up your video again! Kudos for another great video!

Thanks for this! I'm excited to try it with some difficult subjects in school!

Unfortunately if I was at that party I'd 100% forget my jacket and then grab my keys to wander around in the dark listening for the beep of the car bc I'd forgotten where I parked so hM LOL

Instead of furniture, I use corners and centers. Front-left floor level, go around clockwise, center of floor, front left ceiling level, go around clockwise, center of ceiling. I can improvise an ordered list of 10 places on-the fly anywhere. Outdoors I use corners of buildings going around in a specific order, followed by roofs. A pair of familiar buildings gives me a list of 10.

What about combining memory palaces and lucid dreams? Like going to your memory palace in lucid dreams to remember it better

1:26 i know because about 3 seconds ago you told me where i put my things. Thank you.

I reccomend making a simple starting one then creating a large permanent one that you can store all of your important stuff in

I'll be using this Technique to Remember Things i have to commit to Memory. Especially Math Things. Normally, I'm Good at commiting Things to Memory, but when it comes to Math, i just can't do it. (I have dyscalculia) This is extremely helpfull, Thank you!

Memory palaces are best suited for permanent storage, akin to sectors of a hard drive that is holding archival data. Peg systems, linked lists, A-Z system, major system, etc are better for temporary storage, more akin to volatile memory like RAM that is periodically flushed. Reserve memory palaces for that which you truly wish to keep permanent (as it is more time-consuming and mentally taxing to flush such memory and re-assign the data).

Interesting that the layout of the drawings in this video could even be a mini-mind palace for the script/main points of the video

just a year ago i did a psychotest (is that what its called in English lmao), and my speciality is visual spacial so this technique is the perfect technique to learn for me, cuz of my ability to visualize things quickly I'm able to use this technique with only like a book or something, but sometimes the hard part in this technique is actually getting yourself to do it, cuz you know it'll be a bit more work to do than lets say feyman, it sometimes make me don't wanna do it

That scene when Watson is explaining to the lady who asked about what the Mind Palace is, it really got me. Watson: it’s like a house of some sort, where he puts the objects he’s trying to remember. Lady: Why does he call it a palace?

I love the way you talk Really amazing

Thanks for the tips. It's working 🤩

Simply Fantabulous 🔥

Indeed I thank you for your help and effort

I think Mind Palace is gonna be a lot more easier to learn for people with lead or auxiliary masculine Ne. I just found out that I have masculine Ne and tried to remember 16 random numbers. That worked quite well, so I tried it again and put 16 numbers on top. Results: I could remember 32 numbers really quick. Works for me

Can we use same place for storing multiple things like vocabularies, numbers etc?

I loved the presentation, I would like to know which tool was used to create this video.

Starting secondary school (English high school) in a few weeks, I'll build a Minecraft set of rooms as my mind palace to put new consepts in to make life easier. I'll have one for every subject, so I can remember everything I have learned!

My mind palace is my own home. I just imagine my home with more spacious rooms, but the same layout. It’s super familiar, and in my opinion the easiest way to make a mind palace.

Ill do this to my study methods. In a few months ill be taking a big step for my life. If desperation yields results and pressure makes diamonds. I hope my efforts wont be in vain.

This skill is very useful and ive been using it for about a decade. I learned it from mega memory course. I learned very quickly though don't bother trying to memorize a lot like you mentioned in number 5. Focus on whats really useful or important. Things for work most likely. Mnemonics work very well also along with other memory tricks. Funny thing is this was actually invented by the greeks around 3000 years ago in the roman era. I find it odd how this isnt taught more in school.

Wow. This is way different from my mind palace. I can literally rewind all the images of my life in my mind. It's kinda like doing an instant replay in my head. I can remember where everything I see in a room for up to about a month. I can also remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs. Also, these said songs can invoke vivid memories of my life down to the very temperature. But I still can't seem to remember why I walked to the kitchen.

I can do this. I just need a room or something. But I can memorize already fast and I hope this will help me memorize everything even faster.

Thank you from Italy :)

Thank you Mason

thanks so much it worked

I am here just after seeing the Sherlock's mind palace

My mind palace or mind castle, is small organized room in My Minecraft survival game that i still remember from years ago. It had optimized Layout but small enough sets of chest around the room, so I use Those chest as my mind palace and also the furnace below them and a room behind which also has a room

Hi, is it necessary to vary the locatión when memorizing different topics? Or could I just use the same map and the same people to learn different things? That would it make it harder to do?

Hi. which program did you use for video😊

Speaking of video games: Dark Souls is EXTREMELY intriguing when it comes to the method of loci. The game world is pretty expansive, but most people I know who have played through it can recall it perfectly on demand. There is something to the subversive nature of the shortcuts and the spinning hallway type construction that compliments our learning and burns it strongly into our memory even after only one playthrough.

I wonder if you create a trash can next to each item you memorize in the room first, then create your needed memories like a 'deck of cards' you could train your brain to throw away those memories of cards and create new 'needed' memories like numbers?

I mean I'm a doctor MD in internal medicine and doing PhD in Neurology..i have like literally tens of thousands of pages of info.. I will need mind village or even city.. Otherwise how may I put all those info in

Can confirm this works, the visual image was imprinted directly into my brain, just follow the steps.

It took me some time to perfect this memory palace

Can we use the same mind palace and objects to remember totally different information each time? Or do you need a different mind palace for each set of info?

Hi can i memorize Long Answers like History Lessons or Paragraph etc...

When he came to the map section I was thinking about "Hey I can use Call of duty maps" and then he said the same and I was blown off

Thank you so much for the introduction!

If you remember a little thing like a shopping list, but afterward you don’t need it anymore. Can you overwrite it with something other?

I get the monkey and the spade part, but how do you use this to help remember that its a #5 &#4 card rather than a 6 &9 or some other # in the deck?

Great video, would also recommend reading “Moonwalking with Einstein” by Joshua Foer

Thank you

This method seems really usefull when it comes to memorising lists of objects, dates and events than can be very well depicted in the mind's eye, but how does it work when you have to memorise a certain bulk of text. I mean putting five images in a room to represent five playing cards, or five items on a shopping list is easy and doable. What do you do when you have to memorise an entire paragraph of text i.e i am a medical student and want to study for my exam in surgery where i have both a written and oral examination and have to be able to reproduce the information perfectly from start to finish. If i have to make up an image for every single word it would take me hours to get through a single paragraph not to mention that i'd need not a house or palace, but an entire city

This is similar to what I do but mine is basically a library . I use no markers or objects to associate with. It's limited. Each book I can only see the first page but I can recall it visually

I understand how this could be used for things like lists, but what about more complex things like notes? For example, if I am trying to remember that Cherokee and Iroquois formed federations, could this technique be applied and if so, how?

Is it possible to change the purpose of a mind palace? Like use the same room and items to remember different things. For example I use use my kitchen to remember history facts for a test but later, when I don't want or need to remember them, I use the kitchen to remember something else.

can you use the same room to a different list of things ( example: my room = german vocabulary , and when i am done, use my room to my room= math theory)?

"Sherlock" is my one of the favorite shows

You should mention/list the other techniques at the end of this video.

So when I'm creating a mind Palace for instance I pick my home as my palace and choose four objects to use in my palace. What happens to the other objects which i haven't selected ?

I started yesterday. And I want to know that how can I keep informations about people, systems, passwords etc.?

The problem I have with this, for example with cards, is that I can easily visualize rooms and stuff happening, but I would need to link every card to some object first and I can't remember that list

I find memory palaces amazing and facinating! But I dont know with which information I could fill it. I have a job where I dont need to remember "lists" oder "numbers". I could do it just to train my mind, but I'm wondering if threre are more possibilites...

I'm wondering if you prefer this over the peg system. The peg system seems much easier to use. I'm going to try the Mind Palace, it just seems like a lot of work. What are your thoughts about the 2 systems?

I know about mind palace from tv series, the Mentalist and Sherlock..

Once you remember what you needed to and no longer need that item can you wipe it from the palace or does it need to stay until you clear the whole being out?

i can't even remember where my key is

Just meditate and it works y'all

i’m able to understand the concept of mind palaces very well but when it comes to applying it to real world scenarios i can’t do it

I wonder if I can use a phone instead of a place, since I'm much more familiar with the stuff in my phone, and add an info on each app🤔

The COD BLACK OPS zombie map was so good to me. I am shocked, thanks

In some strange strange way I'm..... combining the mind palace, Internal Family Systems, and Minecraft all into one. Of course, I'm not necessarily using it for memory since it's main focus is..... like.... on working out emotions and whatnot, but having a place for each of these "parts" to inhabit is already fascinating

The Mind Palace Technique can also be a useful way of organizing your thoughts.

I don't necessarily put my information into a visual form or follow an order through my palace, I just sort of leave the information in a chair or in one case by my guitar and I just go retrieve it whenever I need it. Have I been mind palacing wrong?

I have a question. How does one put together the stories too store the information? I have chosen objects but when it comes to memorizing a deck of cards it proves to be more challanging than thatg (he memorizes a deck of cards in the intro so i guess kts relevant). How does one so quickly link together the objects, that is my question, in a deck of cards there are 56 objects, and he scrolls trough the cards with his hands so fast. Please any help would be appriciated, how do you go about making your story, for example to memorize a long list of code or a long list of cards, any suggestions?

It goes back way past the Greek... The Memory Code is a great book discussing this..

Can you use the same location multiple times or no?

So to put some information we have to visualize something like a animal or a object but can it also be turn into lettera

How to create fast memorable images in my brain that last?

So, i need to create new memories by conecting with already well stablished ones, like how my room looks like or the palm of my hand?

I assume that I can change the information in the mental palace at will as long as I follow the given path. Can I create a mini mental palace (cube with a door) and place it in a position in another palace and have one mini palace in the big palace?

how do you do this if you want to study vocabulary? like i have so many words and their meanings (usually 2 meanings)

The other day I went to the grocery shop to buy some groceries. I didn’t write thing I wanted to buy but just imagining myself walking inside my house and just checking while remembering things that went out. As far as I can remember, I missed nothing(I bought everything that I needed). Is that kind of mind place method?

Can you attribute more than one memory to each object?

Nice. 😀😀😀

I have a question please. How do you use the same furniture in your house repeatedly. I get confused. Memories start to mix up when I use the same list of furniture for different lists of words.

I have a very strong imagination. Over the time of my life it got stronger. I have a modern mansion, outline with gold. Surround by forest with tall oak trees. Interior is modern/expensive furniture. It's a three story (included basement) but the most unique thing is my office on the second floor to the right above the entrance. Every time I wanna store anything. I walk into the house to my office and pull out a notebook. I have multiple notebooks for different subjects, etc. Example: (any math equation goes in my labeled (Math) notebook) same goes for songs, dreams, science, etc. I pull out the desired notebook. All my notebooks are nicely put up in like school office mail box. I write whatever it is down, basically telling my brain "hey this is important, don't throw it away" . I can easily remember what ever it is and if I still struggle. I go back into the house and office and look in the notebook and it comes right back to me and appears on the notebook. They way I wrote it and where I wrote it on the paper. I been doing this for only a week;First day I instantly started building within my palace more and more.

One can not only use your home but use different palaces in your neighborhood for different memory lists. For example, pick out your local restaurants, homedepot, officedepot, your relative's house, friend's house. For a very long memory list, bundle a bunch of local palaces together. (I haven't tried it---but will---but I think it's valid)

Question: lets say i assign an object a memory, and now I don't need it anymore. do I just re-assign that object?

what if I need to memorize many things of the same topic. 4-5 seems very little, even without a mind palace, I'll probably be fine. Its more of memorizing 20-30 things where I start having trouble.
