The key takeaways are that the document discusses the Magnetic Memory Method which uses Memory Palaces and three principles (Location, Imagination, Action) to help with memorization.

The three principles of the Magnetic Memory Method are Location, Imagination, and Action.

Memory Palaces are imagined locations that are used to store and retrieve information. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a real location that is then broken down into stations where information can be placed.

Thank you for using these Magnetic Memory Worksheets.

I know that they will


help you achieve your memorization goals.

Readers of my books are familiar with the following three principles:

1) Location
2) Imagination
3) Action

To become truly fluent or all encompassing when it comes to memorizing a


particular subject area, we want to create as many palaces as there are letters in the
alphabet, and in some cases more. The following pages include example exercises
and worksheets that you can print out and use when building your own unique
memory palaces.

Exercise Number One:

To begin, think about 10 locations that you know well. These will become the
basis for your first ten memory palaces. Whenever possible, try to link the place
with the letter. For instance, I might associate A with Aberdeen Mall, S with the
Sony Center and Z with Zoltan’s Movie Theatre. You will undoubtedly have more
than 26 locations, so save the extra ones to build palaces for grammar or
miscellaneous material you might want to pick up from time to time.

Do your best to link your Memory Palaces with locations that match the first letter
now, but if you can’t, keep identifying locations that you can use anyway. You can
always come back and organize your locations more thoroughly and alphabetically
later. One of the keys to the Magnetic Memory method is to keep moving forward.
To paraphrase Edison, make a mess now and clean it up later. That’s what these
worksheets are for, so print them out as many times as you like and start fresh.

On that matter, I’ve provided you with both PDF and a .doc file. Experiment with
both. There is reason to believe that writing with the hand builds the mind
differently than typing. I talk more about ways you can develop your mind through
handwriting in my coaching and will be revealing the concept in a future book, but
for now, keep that in mind when creating your Memory Palace files.

Magnetic Memory Worksheets

Whether you have identified only 10 or all 26 locations, start now by detailing one
of those locations by figuring out 10 “stations” within that location.

For example, in my Aberdeen Mall example, I would have:

1) Front entrance
2) Jewelry store
3) Book store
4) Escalator
5) Radio Shack
6) Food court entrance
7) Orange Julius
8) McDonald’s
9) Dairy Queen
10)Back exit

Notice here that I’ve constructed my path between all locations by obeying the
following two principles:

a) I do not cross my own path


b) I do not trap myself along the way (and I have ensured that I can add ten
more stations (I have the parking lot, the McDonald’s on the other side, the
movie theatre, and then a number of stores I remember down the road
leading to another shopping mall I can use later on if I choose). Always keep
your options to extend each Memory Palace open.

There are two very important principles when selecting your stations.

1) Never trap yourself


2) Never cross your own path

This means that when identifying your palaces, you should pick a starting location
in a place that will allow you to move forward without running into barriers or
dead-ends. For example, you would not want to start at the front entrance of your
home and then end in the basement. This would prevent you from extending your
Memory Palace. However, if you start in the basement, you can then move outside
your home and then add new stations for as long as you would like.

In terms of not crossing your own path, we do this in order to avoid confusion. One
of the main principles of this method is to avoid having to remember the order of
your stations. If you cross and re-cross your own path, you can wind up having to
spend too much time remembering which station comes next. Avoid this.

Here are some tips for creating and storing your Memory Palaces:

Although the point is to eventually be able to do everything in your mind, it is


useful when starting out to write everything down. Even advanced memorizers like
to keep records for the purposes of testing, forgoing them only during competition.

You can copy out the worksheets I’ve included at the end of this handout, or you
can use an Excel file. I myself use Excel and create a separate file for each and
every letter. This lets me easily list the individual stations in a top-to-bottom
manner. But I also like to write out my material by hand from time to time because
it helps build the mind in a different way. I also use handwriting to test myself, i.e.
I write out the words I’ve memorized and only then look at the Excel file. I do not
close my eyes with the file open or give myself any opportunity to peak at the next
word. It’s important to be disciplined and rigorous when testing.

Finally, if you find it useful, you can draw maps of the different locations. Some
visual people benefit from doing taking this step. I myself have created drawings to
help refresh my memory about how certain locations looked. You may also want to
get in the habit of photographing places you’ve been in order to better build
Memory Palaces if you are not a particularly visual person.
