4.Draw It In Your Head

Let’s say you need to remember a shopping list. Try this. Think of an item with a vividly clear picture in your head like broccoli, now imagine it with something else that begins with “b” like a baseball bat. So now it becomes a head of broccoli holding a baseball bat, broccoli-bat. Now do that with another item and draw a line linking it to the broccoli in your head. You would be amazed the number of things you can remember from this technique.
