Mnemonics For Historical Dates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Second, I needed to remember that 17 is involved because these dates took place in the 1700s.<\/p>\n<p>To do that, I have George Washington equipped with some very sharp tacks.<\/p>\n<p>In the Major Method, 1 = d or t and 7 = k.<\/p>\n<p>Put those two together to form a word like &#8220;tack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, to this image of George Washington with tacks, I have him shoving these into John Cale.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that hurts, and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s memorable (Sorry John Cale!)<\/p>\n<p>Now, you might not know John Cale or his loose relationship to the history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/binaural-beats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">binaural beats<\/a> via Lou Reed, which is why you need to get into real memory training.

Well, as strange as it is:<\/p>\n<p>I see Cobra Commander with his viper symbol bashing Peter Parker with a puck.<\/p>\n<p>Viper = 89<br \/>\nParker\/puck = 97<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s that simple. Every 2-digit number has an image like this. All that needs to happen in your mind is this:<\/p>\n<p>Get them interacting in weird and unusual ways in a Memory Palace. With a small amount of practice, you&#8217;ll learn to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-remember-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remember vast amounts of information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ever hear Sherlock Holmes talk about doing stuff like this in his &#8220;Mind Palace?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No way, hombre.

Spaced Repetition)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You know why we call it &#8220;Recall Rehearsal&#8221; in the Magnetic Memory Method universe.<\/p>\n<p>A few reasons:<\/p>\n<p>First, it doesn&#8217;t count as spaced repetition. That sounds hard, annoying and&#8230; lame.<\/p>\n<p>Second, a well-formed Magnetic Memory Palace Network is like a series of theaters.<\/p>\n<p>In these theaters, you call your players for &#8220;rehearsal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So when I ask my mind about the dates for George Washington&#8217;s terms as a military commander and the first President of the United States&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>NOT<\/strong><\/span> replaying a movie.<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m a theatre director. I know which theatre the play takes place in and I call my actors to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Then I ask:<\/p>\n<p>What were they doing there?<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>How?<\/p>\n<p>And other questions to trigger back the associations.<\/p>\n<p>And I do it only as many times as needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/long-term-memory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get the information into long-term memory<\/a> for as long as I need the info.<\/p>\n<p>But spaced-repetition&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I find it&#8217;s a waste of time without Magnetic Imagery involved.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Recall Rehearsal puts the Magnetic in the Magnetic Memory Method by making it easy, fun and effective.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s the only way to develop a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/mnemonics-dictionary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mnemonics dictionary<\/a> in your mind for instant and rapid use of memory techniques.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dominic O&#8217;Brien And The Rule Of Five<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With practice, you can reduce the number of repetitions needed to a shockingly low level, though of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/master-of-memory-dominic-obrien\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominic O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s Rule of Five<\/a> is worth your attention, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t go wishing and praying for a magic number.<\/p>\n<p>Learn these skills for yourself and the principles that make them work.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3132 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ffcadfb9b2360ac1d1881e.L._V341353783_SL290_1.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&ssl=1\" alt=\"Dominic O'Brien\" width=\"150\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ffcadfb9b2360ac1d1881e.L._V341353783_SL290_1.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ffcadfb9b2360ac1d1881e.L._V341353783_SL290_1.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=60&amp;ssl=1 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the fast and easy path to real memory magic.

Earn the success you want through experience. It&#8217;s a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>More on How To Improve Memory Recall Better Than Sherlock Holmes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know the truth about using a Memory Palace and use it to place information into long-term memory, here are some additional tips that will help.<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention to each of these because they are essential to your success. These tips are critical to the long-term health of your brain and memory.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Eat a memory-friendly diet.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s true:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/foods-that-improve-memory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foods that improve memory<\/a> \u2013 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/foods-bad-for-brain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foods you should avoid<\/a> \u2013 can make or break your memory.<\/p>\n<p>Walnuts, blueberries, green tea &#8211; these have all been shown to give your memory a boost better than any improve memory supplements on the market.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Exercise.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I go to the gym three days a week. It keeps my body fit, as well as my brain.<\/p>\n<p>The best part?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m able to perform Recall Rehearsal while pumping iron and hitting the treadmill.<\/p>\n<p>I also walk frequently and do pushups and yoga at home.<\/p>\n<p>Every bit of fitness helps protect your brain and memory.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Reduce Multitasking <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>(Except when using the particular form of multitasking in a Memory Place we&#8217;ve been talking about today.)<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. People who want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-learn-faster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learn faster<\/a> are damaging their chances of success by holding multiple open tabs and reading from devices enabled with notification options.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. Sleep Without Devices In Your Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to improve your memory, improve your sleep.<\/p>\n<p>It seems unrealistic these days, but it&#8217;s getting more important every day:<\/p>\n<p>We need to unplug from the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>We need time away from the machines that use algorithms to shape what we see and how we think.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, every time I stray from my computer curfew&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I regret it.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does my memory suffer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I make bad decisions.<\/p>\n<p>I get a bit paranoid.<\/p>\n<p>I feel less well.<\/p>\n<p>By protecting the bedroom and using my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/rereading-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">re-reading strategy<\/a> with real books, I create a buffer zone around my sleep that works very well.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Why I Only Read Physical Books Instead Of Digital Ebooks\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/er-k8Ecgdfo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I use a sleeping mask too. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>8. Use app-free brain exercises<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Brain exercises are important. And the best evidence shows that when you use apps to get it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re getting horrible results.<\/p>\n<p>The only ones ever shown to work in any impressive way set you up with one-on-one coaching on the other end. In other words, it&#8217;s not the app alone getting you the mental fitness results.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re willing to learn some of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/brain-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brain exercises<\/a>, you&#8217;ll quickly find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-improve-focus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">boosts in focus<\/a>, attention and memory.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve shared many exercises to improve memory and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-improve-concentration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">concentration<\/a>, so please be sure to listen to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/category\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magnetic Memory Method Podcast<\/a> frequently so you don&#8217;t miss any of them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>9. Learn new mental and motor skills.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The obvious suggestion here is music. Pick up the guitar, piano and French Horn.<\/p>\n<p>But it could also be painting where you learn about shapes, lighting and the color wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Or you could learn to juggle, code a website or learn a language. There are many things you can do. The important thing is to take action and get results.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>10. Know the difference between mild forgetfulness and full-blown memory loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every person must take full responsibility for the state of their memory.<\/p>\n<p>Just as we monitor our heart rate and respiration, we need to put thought into the functioning of the mind.<\/p>\n<p>To understand this critical difference, I&#8217;d start with listening to this memory loss with Jennie Gorman. She was able to recover her memory quickly with just one simple tweak. It&#8217;s the kind of solution many people would never think to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s brain trauma. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/car-crash-survivor-michael-gusman-talks-about-mnemonics-and-brain-trauma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listen to Michael Gusman talk about how he used memory techniques to overcome these issues following a nearly fatal car accident<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing to educate yourself about the role of memory in your life and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/brain-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the health of your brain<\/a> is indeed your best weapon.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>11. Learn to use a variety of mnemonic devices (and never stop)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If there&#8217;s one thing we can find legitimately inspiring in the Sherlock Holmes stories, it&#8217;s that the dude seems to keep learning.<\/p>\n<p>And more than learning, he keeps thinking about the things he knows.<\/p>\n<p>So although no one can improve their memory to be like an unrealistic fictional character, you can be you.<\/p>\n<p>Better:<\/p>\n<p>You can be the best possible version of yourself. All you need to do is keep learning how to use your mind.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what the Magnetic Memory Method website is here to help you accomplish.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Are You Ready To Take Your Skills To The Next Level?<\/h3>\n<p>If so, pick something you want to learn that will improve your life.
