Ultimate LoFi... Keeping it all in your head?
sgen | Dec 28 2006
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'm happily MedFi at home and at work (a single plain old text file on computer -- although admittedly my text editor thinks its a programming language and folds, colours and formats it accordingly) but need something for when I'm out and about, mainly for capture. 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

I probably need to work on making my images more vivid, however. I'm finding that its not so much vividness of the individual images that helps, but linking them all together into a coherent (if rather demented) whole. That way I'm not trying to remember five objects on a plate, but a single surreal meal that I have constructed. » POSTED IN:
