Memory can fade with age – stay sharp by using the Memory Palace technique to recall information.

Step 1: Choose your palace
Select a place with many rooms that you can vividly picture in your mind's eye, such as your home or workplace.

Step 2: Chart a path
Chart a specific route through every nook and cranny of your "palace." Always start in the same place, follow the same path, and end in the same place.

Step 3: Create "memory slots"
Create a system for traveling through each room, such as always going from left to right. Note all of the features of each room, such as a desk, lamp, trash bin, dresser, and a painting – see each item as a "memory slot" where you can store information.

Step 4: Place objects along your path
Associate objects or ideas you want to remember with features in your memory palace. Locate them on your route in the order that you want to remember them.

Tip
Exaggerate images to aid in the recall process. For instance, imagine tons of huge apples dangling from one of your houseplants to remind yourself to buy apples.

Step 5: Recall information
Start at the beginning of your route and visit each feature in turn to readily recall the information you have stored. Soon people will comment on your excellent memory.
