Memorizing the names of all the Olympic cities10 times faster is super easy when you know how your memory works.
Most people use their verbal memory, but memoryexperts use their visual memory.
In this video I’m going to hack your brainand make you do what the experts do.
I’ll tell you exactly what to picture inyour mind, and I’ll draw it for you as well.
Then, your visual memory will do somethingastonishing and you’ll be amazed how easily you can recall the names of all the Olympiccities.
Let’s do it.
We’ll begin by picturing the Olympic rings,the five interlocking circles that are blue, yellow, black, green and red.
They’re painted on the ground, and walkingover and playing among the Olympic rings are eight hens.
‘Eight hens’ sounds a bit like Athens,the traditional home of the Olympic movement and the first city to host the modern Olympics.
The eight hens are all different colours.
Now, when you think of the Olympics you’llfirst picture the Olympic rings, then you’ll see in your mind those eight hens, and you’llknow the first Olympic city was Athens.
The 2nd city to host the Olympics was Paris.
Paris sounds a bit like pears.
Imagine that some of the hens pick up somelarge green pairs and begin juggling them backwards and forwards.
They’re talented hens.
Clearly picture in your mind those pears flyingthrough the air between the hens.
When you visualize those pears, you’ll realizepears sounds similar to Paris and you’ll recall the host city after Athens was Paris.
Saint Louis was the next city to host theOlympics, and that sounds a bit like saint lose.
Imagine that a saint joins the hens and theyhave a pear catching competition.
The saint has a halo over his head and whitewings on his back.
The saint loses the pear catching game bydropping a pear.
Picture the saint losing the game as the smashedpear lies on the ground at his feet.
When you visualize the saint lose you’llbe reminded of Saint Louis.
The 4th Olympic city was London, which soundsclose to lung don.
A don is a university teacher, like a traditionalprofessor from Oxford or Cambridge, and they wear the formal academic mortarboard hat andlong black gown.
This don has bright pink lungs on the outsideof his chest – he’s a lung don.
Picture the lung don consoling the losingsaint, giving him a pat on his back.
Now when you think of the lung don, you’llthink of London.
Stockholm was the next city to have the Olympics,and Stockholm sounds like stuck home.
Imagine the don is taking a home for a walk.
After consoling the saint, the don startsto walk off again, but his home is stuck.
One of its feet is stuck in a big pile ofgreen glue.
It’s a stuck home.
Create a clear mental image of that stuckhome and you’ll reminded of Stockholm, the 5th Olympic city.
Antwerp is a great name and it makes me thinkof ant warp.
A few large ants walk out of the home, butthey’re warped and twisted, legs and bodies pointing in different directions.
The home was like a weird ant warp, becauseit’s warped the ants.
When you visualize that ant warp you’llremember the next Olympic city, Antwerp.
Paris hosted the Olympics a second time, sowe’re back to pears again.
The warped ants are feeling hungry and theydiscover a couple of delicious pears which they start devouring.
As the pears are eaten away, the ants’ belliesget larger.
Create a clear mental image of those pearsbeing eaten up, and you’ll link that in your mind to Paris.
The 8th Olympic city was Amsterdam, and thatsounds like hamster dam, a dam of hamsters.
Imagine the pears suddenly get washed awayby a flash flood.
They bob along the surface of the water untilthey come up against a dam wall, made of hamsters.
It’s a hamster dam, so when you visualizethat you’ll immediately remember Amsterdam.
Los Angeles hosted the Olympics next, andLos Angeles sounds like lost angels.
Two lost angels stop to ask one of the hamstersin the wall for directions.
Both of the angels have large white wings.
One angel is holding a map and the other angelis scratching her head.
They’re definitely confused and lost angels.
When you picture those lost angels you’llrecall Los Angeles.
After Los Angeles came Berlin, which soundsand looks like burr line.
The angels walk off in a new direction, butkeep stepping on large burrs, covered in spikes.
There’s a long line of burrs stretched outin front of the angels.
When you visualize that long line of burrs– a burr line – you’ll remember Berlin.
Alright, that’s the first 10 Olympic cities,so let’s do a quick recap.
Picture each image in your mind and you’llrecall them really easily.
When you want to remember the Olympic citiesyou’ll think of the Olympic rings.
Walking all over the Olympic rings are eighthens, reminding you of Athens.
The hens begin juggling pears, giving youParis.
A saint plays catch with the pears, but loses.
Saint lose – St Louis.
The saint is consoled by a lung don, remindingyou of London.
The lung don is walking a home that gets stuck– Stockholm.
Some warped ants crawl out of the home.
It must be an ant warp, giving you Antwerp.
The ants are hungry and begin munching onsome pears.
Paris.
The pears are washed away and into a hamsterdam, reminding you of Amsterdam.
Some lost angels ask the hamsters for directions.
Lost angels – Los Angeles.
The angels head off, walking on a long burrline, prompting you to recall Berlin.
