Storytelling (Story Method)
Short Answer
Turn facts or lists into a vivid story. Each element becomes a scene that triggers the next, creating a chain of associations.
How to Do It (Simple)
- Convert each item into a concrete image.
- Link images by action (crash, melt, explode, dance).
- Make the story exaggerated (weird beats normal).
- Recall by replaying the story in order.
When to Use Storytelling
- Short ordered lists (shopping list, steps, key points).
- Quick memorization when you don’t want to build a palace.
- Linking abstract concepts by turning them into characters.
