Your memory is already amazing! Before you can scale that last peak of information you crave, you need to understand and appreciate the mountain of “ordinary” stuff you’ve already mastered.
Take this extremely short test for your “bad” memory, and find out you remember plenty of things. All over your house. How bad is your memory? I guarantee that if you’re reading this, your memory is astounding, but let’s take a simple example. Imagine your bedroom. What does your bed look like?
You may not remember whether you made it or not, or even the color sheets right now.

“Forgotten” memories often get lost, not erased. With this ancient “loci” method, you can turn ordinary household items into places to keep your memories safe.
