How can I memorize multiple Memory Palaces without confusion?
Short Answer
Use clearly distinct locations, a fixed route, and numbered loci for each palace. Keep palaces “single-purpose,” avoid reusing them too soon, and maintain a simple index so you don’t mix routes.
Why This Matters
Because similar contexts trigger interference, distinct routes and consistent loci reduce cross-talk between palaces. An index externalizes organization, which leads to faster selection of the right palace and fewer recall collisions.
Where This Changes
If two palaces feel too similar (two hallways, two apartments), switch to themed environments or add unique “anchor” images at the entrance. For very long-term storage, periodic refresh is still needed.
