Although basing your Memory Palaces on buildings you’ve seen with your own eyes will always be a best practice, it’s not your only option. Sure, buildings are generally best. That’s because remembered locations let us easily “offload” what we want to learn onto walls, corners and furniture as if they were hard drives. But you can also develop thous…

Where’s my schoolmate’s house? Wait, schoolmate, or was she my colleague at work? If an inner voice like that sounds familiar, it could indeed be your l…

What does learning look like when your body has stopped cooperating? For many people, paralysis would mean the end of studying. But for the historian Tony Judt, who found himself immobilized by ALS, his condition became the beginning of something unexpected: a new way of thinking about memory, language, and the act of learning itself. Even more ast…

Yes, you can use the Memory Palace technique without visualization. I’ve been doing so for years as the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method. I’ve also succeeded beyond my wildest dreams as someone who experiences very limited visual imagery. At first, I struggled with this technique, however. Until my research revealed that the Memory Palace tech…

If you’re seeking memory training because of forgetfulness, mental fog, or information overload, you’re not alone. In fact, I’ve been on both sides. I’ve been so frustrated with my memory that I nearly dropped out of grad school. And so successful I came in second in a memory competition against one of the best mental athletes in the world.
