practical memory.


Memory practicality was not my biggest concern when I heard about memorizing fifty things. I know that it was a tool to help us delve deeper into the magical qualities that memory can take on. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of use my fifty items had.

I work construction, and one of my coworkers loves the blues like I do. I don't know how many times we talked about the top fifty guitarists that I memorized, but it was a very substantial amount. For me, this exercise turned out to be extremely practical.

I hope that I continue to create memory palaces long after this class is over. Has anyone else used their memory palace to include other things? I'm glad that I was forced to do this, because I probably never would have on my own.
