Do you have any book recommendations for these techniques? I tried the "memory palace" or the method of loci and had a small degree of success, but never found it practical. I'd love to give it another go though.
Check out books of Tony Buzan, use your head etc. as well look for some books on mind mapping. As for that mnemonic system I cannot find it :/ but similar thing is GMS from 'Phenomenal memory', look it up on google & you shall find it... :)
