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.
