D1 WHY ARE WE DOING THIS AGAIN?

The 21 st century Art of Memory is a 2500 -years-late update for therulebook of remembering things.

1. We learn to link1SOUNDS and 2PICTURESto say words.2. We link words together to 3READ and 4WRITE .3. We use writing to find our5WAY around the world.

FIGURE 1 THE FORGETTING CURVE

WE EXERCISE OUR MEMORY OF NATURAL THINGS:

1. memory of6SIGHT , both real and imagined,2. memory of7SOUND, in actual and made-up words, and3. memory of8SPACE , in houses and commutes.

WE MOVE OVER TO OUR MEMORY OF MAN-MADE THINGS:

1. memory of words and lists (i.e.9ORDERED words),2. memory of10TIME and events, and

1 SOUNDS2 PICTURES3 READ4 WRITE5 WAY6 SIGHT7 SOUND8 SPACE9 ORDERED10 TIME


5/74

3. memory of11NUMBER and the sounds they make.

WE SET UP THREE SIMPLE RULES:

1. Every picture has a12POWERFUL, 13UNUSUAL 14 ACTION .2. Every event has a15SPACE , an 16 ACTION , and a17PICTURE .3. Every story has18EVENTS , and in stories,19ORDER is king.

WE LEARN THREE MEMORY SKILLS:

1. 20RHYMING, as in songs and poems, to remember words.2. 21DRAWING exaggerated pictures, or caricatures, to remember peoples faces. 3. 22CROSS 23-BRACING your five senses, to remember signs.

THE RESULT IS THAT WE WILL REMEMBER, BY THE END OF THE MONTH,

1. Any24WORD or 25PICTURE list,2. Any26SPEECH or 27NUMBER, and3. Anyones 28FACE and 29NAME .

D5 BODY CHIMES

THE METHOD OF PLACE WORKS ON OUR BODY: LINK WORDS AND SOUIN ORDER WITH RHYMES. (FIVE INWARD SENSES, ORDER/CATEGORY

INTRODUCTION TO PHONICS)

FIVE INWARD WITS:

"common wit", "57IMAGINATION ", "fantasy", "estimation", and"58MEMORY "

FIVE OUTWARD WITS (FIVE SENSES)

hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste.

SONNET 141, BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

In faith, I do not love thee with mineeyes ,

For they in thee a thousand errors note,

But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise ,

Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.

Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,

Nor tender feeling to base touches prone ,

Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited

To any sensual feast with thee alone ;

But my five wits nor my five senses can

Dissuade one foolish heart from servingthee ,

Who leaves unswayed the likeness of a man,

Thy proud heart's slave and vassal wretch to be .

Only my plague thus far I count my gain,

That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

D9 HOME SWEET HOME

BUILD STRUCTURAL SPACES IN YOUR MIND AND PUT THINGS IN YOHOUSE. (ORGANISING)

BUILDING CODE

1. It must consist ofpermanent and 73 SPLIT spaces . Studios flats, RVs, and lofts, howevertiny or roomy they may be, need to be sliced up bytheir use .

2. It should have74TWO levels. In plain English, it shouldn't be built like a maze. The first levelare the big spaces where you can access the little spaces in the second level. If the front hallleads to the dining room, that should be the end of it, without a big walk-in closet or patiowindows or anything.

3. Rooms have to be ordered. You should be able to number the rooms in a regular manner off thetop of your head, even if you can't go directly from two consecutive rooms; bedrooms, forinstance, might be sequenced in the clockwise direction.

SAMPLE HOUSE

75 LOUNGE : Kitchen island, stairwell/bookcase, settee, fridge, and the multifuel stove. 76YARD: River, tool shed, green-lidded wheelie bin, blue-lidded recycling bin, and the

brown-lidded compost bin.

77 BATHROOM : Freestanding bath, toilet, washing machine, tumble dryer, and washbasin.

78STUDY : Bookshelves, desk, chair, laptop, and the ashtray. 79BEDROOM : Double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, nightstand, nightcap

UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES A SPEECH TICK WITH LINCOLN. SUMMARHIS LINES AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR HOUSE. (A SIMPLIFIEDGETTYSBURG

ADDRESS )

THE COMPLETE ADDRESS

1. Eighty-seven years ago our parents made a new nation on this land, born free, and built on

the idea that all people are made 119 EQUAL .Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation,conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

2. Now we are in a big120CIVIL121WAR , testing whether that nation, or any nation,imagined and built in this way, can last for long.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation soconceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

3. We are 122GATHERED on a great battle-field of that war. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.

4. We have come to123SET 124 ASIDEa part of this field as a grave for people who gavetheir lives so that the nation can live.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those whohere gave their lives that that nation might live.

5. It is all 125 RIGHT126 AND127 GOOD that we should do this.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

6. But, in a larger sense, we cannot128SET 129 ASIDE , we cannot make holy, we cannothonour this ground.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow thisground.

7. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have130HONOURED it, far aboveour poor power to add or take.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above ourpoor power to add or detract.

8. The world will not note or remember for long what we say here, but it can never

131FORGET what they did here.The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forgetwhat they did here.

9. It is for us the living, rather, to be set here to the 132UNFINISHED work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they whofought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

10. Instead, we are here to finish the 133BIG134 JOB left before us:a. we are more 135 LOYAL to the cause for which the dead gave their final

loyalty;

b. we firmly136DECIDE that these men did not die for nothing;c. freedom will be137 REBORN in this nation, under God;d. and this government of the people, by the people, for the people, will not138DIE

139OFF .It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us

- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause forwhich they gave the last full measure of devotion

- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not

perish from the earth.
