Tool #2: Organization
Organization is critical for memory. Most of the differences in peoples' memory abilities are
because of differences in how they organize memories, not because of any differences in how well
their brains can actually remember.

Organizing memories involves putting them into meaningful categories. What's most meaningful
will depend not just on what you're trying to learn, but also how you intend to use what you've
learned. People you meet, for example, might be categorized by how you know them – from work,
leisure, or family – or by their interests (Uncle Bob and Dr. Chesnik are both enthusiastic
bike riders; Sally from the office and Grandma both like to play bridge). Organization gives you
a way to file memories as you're learning them, and also a way to find them again when you need
them.

Organization is extremely powerful. It's how professional mnemonists can remember so much. The
mnemonist who remembers the name of everyone who walks into a room almost certainly uses an
organization system, one that he has probably taken years to learn. Us ordinary people can get
by with more practical organizations, and ones better suited to actually understanding what
we're learning, rather than just rote memorization.

A really good organization system may also help pack memories together, so instead of many
separate memories, you have just one bundle. This makes the set of memories much easier to
remember, and much easier to move around inside of our heads. The process is called chunking.
