How to remember a list of 10 Items
I use the following strategy to keep a list in my head when I head to the grocery store.
I visualize the item I want with each number on my list.
- One Bun
- Two Shoe
- Three Tree
- Four Door
- Five Hive
- Six Sticks
- Seven Heaven
- Eight Gate
- Nine Vine
- Ten Hen
Here’s how I do it. I’m heading to the grocery this morning. I need blackberries. I’ll visualize blackberries inside a hamburger bun. I need mustard so I’ll visualize a mustard bottle sticking out of my running shoes. I’ll continue this process for the items I need. After I make up my list. I review it. I might go over again on the way to the grocery. It never fails me.
