      (1/6) Introduction to the memory palace (thread). From a few years of experience and a lot of reading at some point in my life. (memory palace = mind palace = memory journey = method of loci)

      (2/6) The technique: convert items to memorize into pictures and visualize them in specific places (loci) in a pre-determined journey. It's then surprisingly easy to recall long sequences of items in order.

      (3/6) The technique is powerful for simple information we have a hard time memorizing otherwise: - long sequences of digits or playing cards (have a look at memory competitions!). - any sequence where the order or a perfect recall without clues are important.

      (4/6) Useful not much discussed applications: - implementing a routine (e.g. I once used a memory palace to fall asleep: a sequence of things to visualize or to think about, using my childhood house) - recalling a frequently used checklist

      (5/6) Due to: - the difficulty of converting complex concepts into images; - the amount of time needed to create an ever-growing number of loci; - a feeling that the information is not really internalized / available for creative insight;

      (6/6) I've found the technique (used alone) inappropriate for learning science despite having tried hard during a few months. Conclusion: - use the mind palace to show off and in specific cases; - for most useful content, use note-taking and Anki; - combine whenever appropriate.
