The programs, in detail

Four programs of 6 to 10 weeks, all built on ten minutes of daily practice.

Program 01 · The core method

Your first palace

The method is ancient and it works because the brain remembers places and pictures far better than words. We build your first routes, work on images that are strange enough to stick, and drill recall until twenty items in order stops feeling remarkable.

  • 8 weeks
  • Beginners
  • 10 min a day
  • A route you know well

Weeks 1–2 · Images

Making them vivid, odd and specific.

Weeks 3–4 · Routes

Two palaces, mapped and rehearsed.

Weeks 5–6 · Placing

Twenty items, in order, reliably.

Weeks 7–8 · Reuse

Clearing a palace and using it again.

Weeks 1–2 · Attention

Hearing the name in the first place.

Weeks 3–4 · Linking

Connecting sound, image and face.

Weeks 5–6 · Review

Keeping names past the event.

Program 02 · The one people want

Names & faces

Forgetting a name is usually a failure to encode it at all — you were thinking about what to say next. We work on attention at the moment of introduction, on linking name to a feature, and on the review that turns a name learned once into a name you still have next month.

Program 03 · Past the cram

Retaining what you study

Rereading feels productive and does almost nothing. We replace it with retrieval practice and spaced review, build card decks that are worth the time, and apply visual methods to the lists, processes and vocabulary that exams and professional work demand.

  • 10 weeks
  • Adults studying
  • 20 min a day
  • Your own material

Start this program

Weeks 1–3 · Retrieval

Testing yourself instead of rereading.

Weeks 4–6 · Spacing

A review schedule you will keep.

Weeks 7–8 · Structure

Turning chapters into ordered images.

Weeks 9–10 · Under pressure

Recall when you are nervous and tired.

Weeks 1–2 · Triage

What to memorize and what to write down.

Weeks 3–4 · Numbers

A method for codes, dates and figures.

Weeks 5–6 · Systems

Places, habits and fewer lost keys.

Program 04 · Fewer slips

Everyday memory

Good memory in daily life is half technique and half systems. We decide what genuinely deserves memorizing, build simple methods for numbers and short lists, and set up the external systems that make the rest unnecessary — because remembering everything is not the goal.
