Memory Techniques - How to remember lots of numbers easily

Let's face it, many of us face difficulty remembering numbers, they seem to elude us and confuse us the more we attrempt to memorize them. This is because the numbers do not stand out as unique pictures in your mind thereby causing this confusion. the items discussed in an oral presentation that we resort to jotting the facts down on paper. Now imagine that as your teacher is presenting the facts again, you are able to store this information into your memory as she speaks and even recall it after a few days! Amazing, not really as I will show you how this can be done effortlessly by using a simple yet effective memory technique known as the Number Shape Mnemonic

Now imagine a picture of a delicious chocolate coated donut.
The Number Shape Mnemonic

0 - A donut, an egg
1 - Candle, spear, stick
2 - Swan (beak, curved neck, body)
3 - Bifocal glasses, or part of a "love heart"
4 - Sail of a yacht
5 - A meat hook, a sea-horse facing right
6 - A golf club, an elephant's head and trunk
7 - A cliff edge
8 - A snowman, An egg timer
9 - A balloon with a string attached, a flag

If you find that these images do not attract you or stick in your mind, then change them for something more meaningful to you.

As with the Number/Rhyme scheme, link these images to ones representing the things to be remembered.

In some cases these images may be more vivid than those in the number/rhyme scheme, and in other cases you may find the number/rhyme scheme more memorable. There is no reason why you cannot mix the most vivid images of each scheme together into your own compound scheme.

Example:


Key points:
The Number/Shape technique is a very effective method of remembering lists. It works by linking things to be remembered with the images representing the numbers 0 - 9. By using it in conjunction with the Number/Rhyme system, you can build potent images that can make very effective mnemonics
