Imagination and visualization are the two most potent and basic tools that can be used to make things memorable. When trying to remember something that is difficult to remember, imagine it as a situation with as many details as possible. You should take into account colors, shapes and smells. The visualization also should include conversations with gestures--it can be as hilarious, terrifying or creepy as you need it to be to remember better. When choosing images and situations for visualizations, employ positive and vibrant images; use humor and funny situations; imagine sounds, smells and touch in a situation and employ symbols, signs and rhymes.
Association links the thing you desire to remember to other things you already know. The way you remember things is important in this method. You can enhance remembering by merging two or more images together, linking them by the same color, smell or shape. Acronyms and acrostics are two techniques frequently used in association. An acronym is a word created with the first letters of words in a related list. For example, the popular abbreviation UCLA stands for the University of California, Los Angeles. You can make acronyms using funny words or rhymes. Another technique is using an acrostic, which is a poem or a sentence where the first letter or syllable of each word in a line are put together to create a message.
Location gives you a memorable context to remember a particular thing distinctly. A location you know may be associated with a particular feeling, such as sadness, joy or pity, which additionally enhances the memorization. In employing this technique, you should concentrate on visualizing the location with every possible detail like smell, color, shape, time of the day, the people in it and the feeling it evokes in you.
