Spatial Organization
Spatial organization methods make memory easier by giving information a structure you can navigate: a map, a numbered peg list, or a consistent encoding rule for numbers. When the structure is stable, recall becomes repeatable instead of random.
Quick Rule
Structure reduces cognitive load. If you find yourself “holding too much” at once, add structure: group, map, peg, or encode.

Mind Mapping
Organize ideas visually to show relationships and hierarchies—great for brainstorming and review.
Peg Systems
Use a pre-memorized list of pegs (numbers, shapes, objects) to store and retrieve items in order.
Major System
Convert numbers into consonant sounds, then words and images, to memorize long numbers reliably.
