New Mnemonic Storybook-“Trying to be creative takes too long to "create" the desired effect!”

“Learn the Major SystemThe Major System is a mnemonic technique that converts numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels, making it easier to remember long numbers. This exercise will guide you through learning and practicing the Major System using your memory journal. Step 1: Understand the Major SystemThe Major System assigns consonant sounds to digits from 0 to 9. 

Here is the basic code:

0 = soft c, s, z

1 = d or t

2 = n

3 = m

4 = r

5 = l

6 = ch, j, soft g, sh

7 = hard g or k

8 = f or v

9 = b or p

You can memorize this arranegment using a Memory Palace or think about it logically. For example, if you look at your left hand with the thumb extended, all 5 fingers will look like a kind of L. N has two downstrokes in it, 7 looks vaguely like an upside down K with parts missing, etc”

“exercising your own creative muscle to come up with personal solutions.”

When I was in business, as a sole proprietor  My Moniker was Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare Products Distribution-“I believe the true art of memory is not about creativity at all, but rather constraining ourselves to observation and rearrangement.”

Trying to be creative takes too long to "create" the desired effect!”

“Learn the Major System

“magic and mnemonics produce an effect. That's exactly what you're looking for: the effect, not a debate about what counts as creativity and what doesn't.”
