If you don't have a pen and paper, do you need to remember a list?All you have to do is visualize a room in your mind where you can place all the items in the list, and then mentally return to it whenever you need to.The Roman Room was once used by Cicero and other Roman orators to memorize key points in speeches.It works well for visual learners who are required to memorize lists of unrelated words or things.
Step 1: You can create a room in your head.
It should be as big and beautiful as you want.Big rooms work just as well as smaller ones.If you're only using it for a specific list, or if you can return to it at any time, this can be a temporary room.It is easy to memorize a space if you have a permanent room.If you have an existing room, you can use it.It will be easier for you to return to it whenever you please.
Step 2: It's a good idea to revisit your room a little each day.
Don't change anything as you go back, just memorize everything and get used to it.When you get into smaller details about where things are located, you can add furniture, objects, paintings on the wall or decorative plants.You will get more clues to link your memories to this.
Step 3: Make a list of 10 words to remember.
Consider the following random list: cow your grandpa Billy Bob turkey $20 you owe your landlady computer eggs.
Step 4: There is a list in the room.
The elements that are already present in the room will be linked by this.Adding an ugly wallpaper to the walls, having a barking on your couch, writing in pink neon letters on the frame of a famous painting, eating sloppy Joes, and putting a fat in the doorway are just some of the things you can do.
Step 5: Place people's names as items.
If your list is made of proper nouns, like the main battles of the Civil War or writers' names, replace them with words you can picture first, and then place these in your room.You can have a bunch of British scattered on the floor if you have to memorize a list of modernist writers.
Step 6: Try to remember everything the next day.
If you want to check how many you've memorised, take a picture of the room again.It will be easier for you to remember the list if the associations are more vivid.If you write a date in big pink neon letters on the bottom of theMona Lisa, you will have a better chance of remembering it.If you can have your items engage with something in the room, they will be more likely to stay.Placing the dog on the couch might not be enough, as it might be more effective to see it gnawing at the cushions and smashing them into pieces.
Step 7: Don't forget to revisit the Roman Room regularly.
You have to do this until you know it.If someone made a drastic change to own your bedroom, this will make any addition much more noticeable.It doesn't take a lot of time, just devote a little time each day to this exercise when your mind is clear, like during a bus journey or a session at the gym.
Step 8: If you want to expand your room, add more details.
You can associate your memory lists with smaller elements in the room if you just visualize them.You can put more stuff in furniture that has drawers.There are patterned curtains and rugs on the floor.
Step 9: You can make as many rooms as you want.
Another way to expand the mental space is to store more information in it.You will be able to associate different rooms with different items.It's possible to be in the kitchen while the is playing.The extension can make your room bigger than a palace or town.
Step 10: Make a list of what you want to say in your presentation.
Proper nouns and abstract ideas should be turned into physical objects.
Step 11: You should get to know the room.
When you know where the presentation will take place, visit the room in advance and try to notice as many details as possible.You can revisit the room if you already know it.Going there in person will allow you to pay more attention to details you've never noticed before.
Step 12: Key points should be linked to existing items.
Make sure you associate the key points with items that won't be removed on the day of the presentation.Don't pay attention to a used coffee cup on a desk.It will be destroyed before your presentation day.As you link your key points to each item, it's better to go clockwise.It will be quicker for you to find the next cue when you present it.
Step 13: Listen on location.
It's better to practice your presentations in the actual room if you have a chance.If you can't do it, memorize the room on your first visit and picture it when you practice.
Step 14: Rehears elsewhere.
If you have full access to the room, practicing in a different location is always a good exercise.If there are any last-minute changes to the presentation, having a mental picture of it is safe.If the room is moved, you can use your mental picture of the previous room as a Roman Room.If you picture it in your mind as you present, you will find all your items there, instead of in the room where you've been moved.
Step 15: On presentation day, look for your cues.
Look for the cues in the room that you linked with your key points as you deliver your presentation.Memorizing a presentation will impress your audience.It's always better to have some notes with you in case you forget.
