Description
Our memories are mysterious things. One moment we might recall a lengthy poem or the exact street address of a restaurant from our childhood, while the next we struggle to remember where we've put our keys down or the name of someone new. The human mind is not good at remembering abstract data, but we can do better if we create associations with more relatable information. Mnemonics are a shortcut to help locate information within your memory, using familiar people, places, colours, poems or jokes as cues. This book offers a wide range of mnemonics, from well-known examples that have been in use for centuries to more recent ones and alternatives. In addition to the existing mnemonics, this book also provides guidance on creating your own methods and systems to augment these aids to memory. You'll find tips on how to avoid common misspellings, remember names, faces and numbers, making it a useful resource for everyday tasks.
