Remember numbers - easy!

October 9, 2012

Advice from our expert Oliver Geisselhart

A great way to remember numbers is to build up stories of those numbers in your mind: you use pictures in which the numbers are represented by images shaped like the number. The "1" might be represented by a candle, the "2" by a swan (mind the beak) and so on. You have to memorize these symbols and then create a story with them; "12" could be a candle burning a swan.
