In using mnemonics, it’s important that you prepare your brain to different sorts of ideas and images since mnemonics works on your creativity while you enhance your memorization skills. It’s interesting to know that the sillier or outrageous an idea is, the easier the mind is able to absorb it.
A good mnemonic you can try is the Link method. Incorporate all the absurdity you can think of here because with the Link method, it’ll require your imagination to work. Pretend you need to remember the following: cell phone, socks, flour and a ball. Now the idea with link method is to have all the items interlinked together in one situation and location. This approach makes remembering easier because all the things that you need are already in one setting.
First, try to think of your cell phone by the window. It suddenly rings but you’re not around so a pair of socks hanged just outside the window stretches itself to reach the cell phone but fails to do so. The cell phone falls in the first floor window and smashes a pot of flour. As flour residue scatters in the air, a nearby ball coughs and from there it starts to bounce around the entire room damaging everything.
Go ahead, work a little on your imagination and see what you’re capable of.
