So, on this blog, I'm going to put some random psychological stuff, as that is always good for deductionists to know about. One of these is the concept of the mind palace.
Some of you may be very familiar with the term "mind palace." (You know who you are.) The same concept is also referred to as, "mind attic," "memory palace," "memory dungeon," "mental organization system," or something like that. I'll be calling it mind palace because it is the most common term used by people I know and I'm used to it.
Whatever you call it, it's a way to visualize information. Say you want to remember how to conjugate the verb, "I am" in Croatian. You'll go into a "room" in your "mind palace," pick a "book" up off the "shelf," and see the words, "jesam, jesi, jest, jesmo, jeste, jesu" (the conjugations of the verb).
You can do this with any information, not just verbs in Slavic languages. Names, dates, etc. can be stored away. You should also use images. Need to remember to buy milk at the grocery store? You can put the word, "milk," across the wall of a room, have a large bottle of milk in the middle, write it on a list, and visualize yourself looking at any of these.
More info on this mental mapping technique is to come; I'm just starting myself. Good luck!
Signing off,
SM
