Training like a Memory Champion

My memory SUCKS! I have tried so many things to memorize stuff and eventually I memoize it but by the time I do it is too late. I forget stuff,  so quick it is crazy. This blog was interesting, I didn't really understand what the number/letter thing. I liked remembering the name thing though. "For Mr. Mullen, in a made-up example, that was hair color. The trait most noticeable about “Karen” was her orange hair, about the same shade as a carrot" 

It is a smart technique.
