Mind Palace for complicated ideas?
Hi everyone,
I've been using the Mind Palace technique for a while now, and it helps me remember things such as appointments, shopping lists, etc, but I was wondering if it could help me with my lessons. I know how to store simple ideas or concrete objects in a mind palace, but I don't really see how I'd put a mathematical demonstration, a complex algorithm or a music score in there... I believe that a lot of people here have actually tried building a mind palace, but has anyone tried to use it for more than remembering everyday stuff?

Yes! If you wish to talk more feel free. But yes! I have, I would be happy to explain. When I started to see my therapist, she after 6 years diagnosed me. She said for away to seek a fit life is to find a hobby. So I built my mind palace. And because of what I am I use it for more then everyday thing. Its very helpful with my work and with my family. I can now always tell. If you want to know more please massage me.
All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage.

Well what I'd like to know is how to represent complicated ideas in a mind palace. If I need to remember an appointment to the dentist it is easy to put a giant tooth in one room, but when it comes to learning mathematical formulas, algorithms or other kinds of abstract elements, I have no idea what to do. And these things are the ones for which a mind palace would be useful in my case: I'm expected to be able to find them again, which I currently do, but it would be a great advantage for me to be able to remember all those.
