Everyone wants to have photographic memory. Inside brain everything is linked with something. For example, you can still recall the color of your shirt when you received your college degree. The only reason you are able to remember it because it’s linked with one of the greatest event in your life.

Long time ago, I learned an amazing technique to remember sequenced list of items and then recall items in the correct order. It’s a simple technique and you can remember any number of items with no limits. You can start practice with five items and then gradually increase number of items. You will be amazed with results, when you will be able to recall fifty items in the correct order. Ready? Let’s get started.

Let say, you are going on a shopping and you need to remember following items.

Tissue, Milk, Fish, Donut, Coffee

One thing which you can do, which you usually do, is to remember by reading list over and over again. Sometimes, you remember it correctly but sometimes you forget an item. Also, by this way, remembering five items may be easy but how about remembering twenty or fifty items? Would you be able to recall them easily without any aid?

This technique of remembering sequenced list of items is called “Link Method”. You will link every item with each other which is exactly how brain works.

In Link method, you will create ridiculous association with between items. First item in list is tissue. Imagine a big roll of tissue equal to the size of a truck tire. Second item is milk and associate with first item by imagining that milk bottle is made of tissue. Off course, in real life you will never get a milk bottle made of tissue. But you need to have a ridiculous association between items. Third item is fish. Normally, on milk bottles we see a picture of cow. But here, you will imagine a picture of fish on milk bottle which is made of tissue. Donut will be associated by visualizing that a fish is eating donut. Last one is coffee and you will imagine that coffee is made up of thousands of tiny donuts.

Now, recall everything in your mind and bring all ridiculous pictures you have imagined. Go to shopping mall and you will be amazed how easily you were able to recall items. After exercising with five item, try same technique with ten and then with twenty items.
