I use memory palaces for a lot of different tasks. I'm certainly not great at it, but you can train this skill to be quite quick. It's great for learning names, vocab words, remembering to do lists, among other things.

The couple key strategies for a memory palace are:

1. Ensure your palace is as real as possible. Spend some time mentally mapping out every detail of your palace in your mind so that you don't have to later.

2. The more animated or "human" the better. Our minds are better at remembering faces.

3. The dirtier the better. Our brains are also way better at remembering sexual imagery.

I got about 13 words on this test using this technique poorly and it only took a couple seconds (and I didn't memorize the second half of the list).
