I've seen this concept mentioned in many places (oddly, always in fiction; I've never come across anyone who does it in real life) and have been interested in it ever since I learned about it, but I've honestly never put too much effort into learning more. Maybe I should... I used to have a much better memory, nearly photographic, when I was a kid, but now I don't think it's that much better than anyone else's memory.
I don't suppose anyone here has actually put the Memory Palace concept into practice to remember things successfully? Like, I mean, a -lot- of things, lists and stuff of that nature, not just your mom's phone number. I know in my own life, while I haven't ever tried this concept, I have found that it is easier for me to remember things when I can 'associate' them with something else. I meet a lot of people in my employment, for example, and I'm able to remember names of people because I sometimes associate them with someone/something else. As a few examples, I remember "Dexter"'s name because of the TV show (I sometimes joke with him asking if he's killed anyone today, lol), or that sort of thing.
So I can see the concept having potential, but I have never heard anyone talk about it from a first-hand experience.
