Another useful technique is to exaggerate. Picture yourself painting the numbers in big figures. If you want to remember your friend’s address as 415 Oak Street, picture yourself painting it on his house in big red figures. A police officer who took my course pictures himself painting license numbers on the back of cars in big figures in contrasting color to that of the car. This is good when you’ve got to register one quickly until you have a chance to write it down.

5. HOW TO REMEMBER DIRECTIONS:
How many times have you lost an address? How many times have you lost written directions? How many times have you frantically looked through piles of paper on your desk because the meeting is in an hour, and if you can’t get there, your life is over? How many times has misfortune and inconvenience occurred merely because of a sheet of
paper? How much longer are you willing to let the forces of order (or confusion — whichever one reigns on your desk [grin]) control your everyday life? Since you’re reading this, you’re hopefully going to do something about it. Well, more power to you. Congratulations for realizing that your memory could use some improvement! That’s half
the battle.

When learning how to memorize directions, it is necessary to take advantage of the pegging and chaining techniques you have learned so far, as well as a concept or two you were given when you learned how to remember people’s names. At first, it may seem to you that using the technique described here for remembering directions is more trouble
than it is worth. Please ignore that idea. Frankly, it’s wrong. If it were too much trouble, the memory experts of the world wouldn’t use it, and they’ve been using these techniques for over ten thousand years
