Memory tips.
Greek philosopher Socrates famously said, ‘Learning is remembering.’ So how can we improve our memory? The key is to use your imagination. Here are two ways of remembering a shopping list of eight items:
First, imagine a huge loaf of bread and suddenly, coffee squirts out of the top and makes a fountain of dark brown liquid. After a few seconds, the dark brown changes to white yoghurt. The yoghurt forms a river and it goes under a bridge - the bridge is a steak. Some black and green olives are crossing the bridge and some big brown eggs are chasing them. The olives hide behind a big carton of orange juice. You lift an olive to your mouth to eat and it turns into an onion which tastes horrible. That’s it! You’ve reached the end.

Think of your home and get a mental image of the - rooms in your house. Then put the items on the list, one by one, in specific places in the rooms. For instance, you imagine the bread on the doormat as you come in the door. Then you go into the living room and the coffee is in front of the television, the yoghurt is on the sofa and the steak is stuck to the mirror on the wall and so on; it’s all about making personal associations - you get the idea. This method isn’t just useful for memorising shopping lists. Some famous people have used it to give a speech without using notes.
