In a word people....LISTEN TO THIS MAN! I bought his book THE VICTORIOUS MIND. I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment. with help of his book, I have over 60 palaces in this small apartment, and from one of the homes I grew up in, over 80 palaces. And I have 7 more palaces waiting to be developed. But don't rush it...take your time and get that first one down pat and successfully used. But most importantly practice until you are successful with that first palace.

98% of my MPs are compound by english words. In fact, I love those videos subtitled because I can train, learn, recall more words.
As usual thanks Dr 🙏🏼

Ok, you convinced me, I'll watch all your videos to build a memory palace and you have a new subscriber.

Hello Anthony, great video! This idea just went to my mind while watching this. You know, you can grow your subscribers more by doing a video on how to create a memory palace to be applied in computer programming and computer science. Or maybe we can call it Magnetic Memory Method for Computer Programming and Computer Science. It's like developing a memory palace for memorizing algorithms like quicksort or something like that. That would very helpful for people in a coding interview for a job as well. I'm looking forward to your future videos. Thank you!

Draw a plan of a familiar location
Create a journey that does not lead you to a dead end
Make sure that your journey is linear so that you don't create confusion by crossing your own path
Don't over clutter your first memory palace
Number each station to help your mind remember the journey better
Use the memory palace as quickly as possible with information that will improve your life

Thank you, now I'll add memory journal as a new thing to my journals.

[artferolino]

Oh!! I'd just hit the subscribr button!!

Thanks for the info sir!! Keep it up.

I've created a memory palace starting from my front door, but heading OUT the door along a path I walk every day. I've got just 6 stations in my memory palace at the moment but I can easily enhance it without going back to a station I've already used.

Hi Anthony, a quick question. People who teach the memory palace technique or chain-link association technique always use physical tangible things to remember. How do u remember things if the subject is intangible, abstract, or not a thing? like a bunch of verbs, or adjectives

[shivanshfamily]

Always find your videos fascinating. Thanks Dr

[abishekb]

I always Prefer associating stories with each word rather than memory palace becuz in MP technique for instance say if you memorize a list of 25 words and u have almost 40 pieces of locations. For the next time you have to use the same locations for memorizing another 25 words so as u get memorizing it confuses a lot.. Also I use Story Method Association and can remember upto 25 words within 90 - 100 sec not bad for me..

[arunpandian]

Thank you, one doubt, if we need to learn more german vocabularies eg: more than 100 in an alphabet A itself, then how could i add more stations within a house,
I have created 26 palaces for each german alphabets, and i need to add as much as vocabularies starting in "A" palace itself, how can i do

[justaperception]

i don't know how to draw and 3d modeling is easier to me so i would just make a 3d model of your memory palace and from how long it takes to get all the details you'll remember the pattern of the bumps on the ceilings

I think it’s important to break down words into sections when dealing with difficult to imagine, but when it comes to simple objects I find no difficultly in just imagining the object.

Would love a example with numbers, how would that work with the extension numbers ?

[rudradhyani]

Which is better magnetic memory method or memory Palace for learning huge amounts of information in a very short period of time like learning 10 pages in under 1 or 2 hours?

[debasishmishra]

My question is -
I have 10 subject = 10 books
Suppose I have the first book..
10 chapter...
Each chapter have 10 topics that are not connected with each other....total of 100 topics per book ...each topic have small small information like specific type of hormone never heard before...
So I selected a room from the memory palace..for the first topic out of my total 10 rooms...
So I used my memory palace completely for 1 chapter...now my palace is full what about the rest of my books...and my key information that I am struggling to put..

[sanjayrao]

Hi Anthony, I am from India and my doubt is what if I don't have enough memory stations for 10 subjects with each 12 chapters is there any solution, can we reuse memory palace
