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

You Will Need
Familiar place
Vivid visual imagination

Step 1: Choose your palace（在脑海中构建一个宫殿）
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（画一条小径）
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"（想出自己的“记忆点”）
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（将自己要记忆的事情沿着宫殿中的小路摆置好）
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.

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（重新回忆一遍）
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.

Memory recall dramatically drops within the first 20 minutes of learning something.
