I've learnt this method from a teacher who recently went to Russia to see how their schools teach the children over there. Anyway...
What you do is imagine and make a room, which is yours, in your mind. This room has to be completely new, don't make it similar to anything you have seen in the past. Think about the furniture you want to add to it, make sure you have at least 3 pieces of furniture.
Now imagine the size of your room, it's smell, color, temperature, the texture of the materials, the furniture, the wood/metal/bricks, etc.
Continue adding more detail until the room design sticks to your mind and your subconscious. Got it memorized?
Keep on thinking about your room and visit it often.
After your room's been created and you know it's perfect, keep it like that, don't change anything.
Now this is the part where the memorization happens. Slowly, slowly, add the the information you want to memorize around the room, for example, if you want to remember a date, keep a calendar in the room with that date on it; if you want to remember a certain person, hang a portrait of him/her on the wall, etc.
After all the information has been added, it's time to draw your room on paper. Using a pencil and loads of colors, draw your room exactly the way you saw it in your mind. It doesn't matter of you're not really good at drawing - it's fine as long as you've got an idea. Add the info on the drawing too. When the drawing's done, it would be really good if you make a mind map using the info, that way you can test your memory and it's a good way to imprint the info on the paper and in your brain. Make sure to use loads of colors and pictures! That will help with the visualization.
If you want to add a set of completely different information, you could either add it in with the info you already have around the room, or make another room; which is still the same as the one you have now, except without the previously added information. Repeat the same process from before and you'll get it!
To remember all the info, keep on visiting your room from time to time and explore it: how do you feel, what is the atmosphere like, is the temperature hot, do you have another door? etc. You'll find that you'll be able to remember more stuff, it's like having a secret chamber of information that only you can view!
I'm not sure of this method will work on everyone, i'm still in the process of strengthening my perspective of my own room and it's details, but i think it will, it seems so fun and interesting!
Until next time, Lotifatishka!
