So please ignore the utterly wrong idea that this technique is not worth applying, because you will find that its use will make your life a great deal easier.

Pegging the Address:
The first piece of information you should memorize and hold on to when memorizing directions is the address. Even if you don’t know how to get somewhere, and you have the address, chances are, you’ll still make it with the help of a map or friendly locals.

Step 1: For illustration purposes, let’s take the address: 15 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. Let’s break this address down into parts so we can peg it more easily:

Part 1: The number of the address such as 15.
Part 2: The name of the street, ex: Wilshire Blvd.
Part 3: The name of the city, i.e., Los Angeles.

Pegging Part 1:

These are the instructions on pegging the number part of an address, or any number, for that matter. In order to utilize this technique, one must select a peg list to use, preferably one that they already know. It only needs to be 10 items long, although a 20 item or greater peg list would be easier to use. During this tutorial we will use the “Tree List” for
this purpose. (If you do not know or do not want to use the tree list, either substitute your own list for ours, or look up and learn the tree list which is in Lesson 2, of this tutorial.)

Let’s assume that we want to peg the number “15”, and we would like to peg it to place one on the body list (the toe). Simply look, and see which peg number 15 is on the tree list, and peg IT to your toe. Place 15 on the tree list is a paycheck. So now, peg a paycheck to your toe! (A paycheck cuts your toe — ouch! Paper cut!) Next time you want to see what you pegged on your toe, you’ll see the paycheck there, which, in turn, will remind you of the number 15, since paycheck is number 15 on the Tree List. So how would YOU remember the number 10? Try pegging it on your own, then read on.
