And I put the next images and so on.
And you can create this pathway through this structure.
And then when you want to recall the information, all you have to do is think back to the place
and walk back through it again and pick out the images that you laid there.
It sounds like a lot of work, but it's one of these things that when you try it, you see how natural it feels to think that way.
Yeah, so strategy's the same.
The memory palace component of it looks a little different and I'll explain why.
So if you think about memorizing a list of words, let's say,
and placing them in a memory palace.
Uh, when you're going to recall them, you probably are going to need to go back through them, uh, and, and pick them out, right?
You have 20, 30 words, whatever.
I want to be able to make sure that I hit all those, uh, those words, whether it's a grocery list or a to-do list.
Um, but with names, you know, you're meeting people all the time.
What percentage of them are you actually going to ever see again?
Depends on the situation, right?
So to say that I'm going to store an image for everybody's name that I meet in a memory palace that stores sequentially the next person and the next person and the next person.
First, how big is your memory palace?
It's going to be really hard to create an infinitely large memory palace to store every person you ever meet.
And then secondly, you're maybe wasting space on people that you're actually never going to meet in your life.
