To memorize this list of words, in the order that they’re presented above, perform the following 3 steps for each list item:
  1. Visualize the same location # of your house as that word’s item #.
  2. Visualize the image of the physical object that that word represents as being in that location in your house.
  3. Picture the thing that word represents interacting with that location.
    • The more bizarre and emotional the interaction, the better!
