Part two of a given address is merely the street name. In this case, it is Wilshire Blvd. In order to memorize this, simply change the word “Wilshire” into a picture exactly like you would someone’s name.. For example, when you meet someone named Michael, you ask yourself, “Michael, what’s a Micahel?” Then you answer, “A Michael is a microphone.” This is the same EXACT technique. Ask yourself, “Wilshire, what’s a Wilshire?” Then answer. One answer could be, “A Wilshire is a wilted flower, shaking in the wind like a wire.” Then add the Boulevard part. Do the same thing. “Boulevard, what’s a Boulevard? A Boulevard is a bowl with art painted on it.” Once you’ve got the two pictures, just peg them sequentially on a peg list, or chain them and just peg one to a peg list. It’s that simple.

Pegging Part 3:
The last part of an address is the city. The way you memorize this is the same way you memorize the street names in part 2 and people’s names when you meet them. Ask yourself, “Los Angeles, what is a Los Angeles?” Then answer yourself. For example, “A Los Angeles is a lost angel.” Then just peg it either on an entirely new peg, or chain it to
the street name.

Pegging the Directions:
Now that you’ve pegged the address, all that remains is pegging or chaining the directions. At first, you may want to peg the directions, then try to chain them. As you gain experience, you can start using longer and longer chains.

Memorize the directions? Easiest thing in the world , you say. All you have to do is convert all the Street names to pictures just like you did when you memorized the address. Right? Right. Almost. There are a few small complications. For example, how would you specify in your chain or peg whether you have to go East or West on a street? How could you tell if you have to get on the northbound or southbound freeway? Turn right? Turn left?

As you can see, these actions can cover most everything someone can tell you when they’re giving you directions. Of course, there are some things you’re going to have to (gasp!) use your imagination for! For example, what if you’re told to drive three blocks, then make a right? Well, take a look at it! You know how to memorize numbers, so convert the three in three blocks to a picture — stool for example, from the tree list. Now fry a stool, while giving it right punches! Simple!

Now that you’ve read this tutorial, practice pegging/chaining at least five sets of directions today, and five tomorrow, then two per day for the next week (at least)! In no time you’ll be remembering directions as fast as people can tell you.
