Ultimate LoFi... Keeping it all in your head?

OK so KIAIYH is heresy around here but I'm thinking about mnemonic techniques like memory champions use to memorise 1000 digit sequences and card players use to track multiple shuffled decks.

I was thinking about maybe constructing a GTD "memory palace" in my head and using mnemonics to track stuff until I'm back at the computer. It would be a bit of effort to set up but it would be lightweight, hands-free and waterproof (though not necessarily alcohol-proof). Just an idea. 12 Comments

OK, I've given this a brief minimalist trial. Not a memory palace, not even a memory hovel. Just an imaginary white plate. That's an interesting way of doing it. I'm using an empty room, with white walls and floor. It's worked so far for remembering something while I'm biking home that needs to go into my journal, so so far, so good. I probably need to work on making my images more vivid, however. » POSTED IN:
