How to Remember Things easily

One effective and proven method to easily remember things is known as the Sherlock Holmes method.

This technique is based on the ancient method of loci, which was used by Roman speakers to memorize their speeches.

It involves imagining a familiar place, such as a house, and placing the items you want to remember in different locations. Then, you can mentally walk through the place and recall the items by visualizing them.

Sherlock Holmes’ Mind Palace Technique

First Construct your mind palace

 

Construct your mind palace, the mind palace could be a place you are familiar with such as your home, or even your body, this place is divided into smaller areas to put things to be remembered on, and you should memorize those areas. 

If you are using your body as a mind palace you could use the following areas to assign or put objects you want to remember on. 

1- Tob of the head 

2- Eyes 

3- Nose  

4- Mouse 

5- Neck 

6- Chest 

7- Stomach 

8- Hibs 

9- Knees 

10- Foot 

 

You can choose your home which will give you more areas to put things on, you can assign 10 places in each room in your home to put your memory objects on, starting with the first room which meets you when you enter your home then use objects naturally found in it such as chairs sofas tables light pulps or chandeliers or electricity switches, washing machine, sink, and so on. 

 

 

Place items in your mind palace 

Now you have to place the items you want to remember in the places you assigned in the first step in the same order you assigned them, putting the first item you want to remember in the first place and the second item in the second place, and so on. 

 

Glue the item to its assigned place 

The important part of this method is to glue the items to the places, as it is not sufficient to just put them in a place in your mind palace but it is essential to glue them to that place, gluing means associating each item with a special image, for instance, if you want to buy coffee from the supermarket you can imagen spilled coffee pouring from the top of your head if you are using your body as a mind palace spill and shatters of coffee cup on the first place in the room of your mind palace
