10 Amazing Memory Hacks

I have a new book out on how to remember everything and here are some top memory tips. If you have to set a table, remember fork has the same number of letters as left and spoon and knife have the same number as right. To remember how to spell necessary, think of it like a shirt with one colour and two sleeves. Always turn a screw the correct way by remembering righty tighty, lefty loosey, To remember pi to six decimal places, just think, how I wish I could calculate pi and then count the number of letters in each word, three one four one five nine two. Talking of pi, do you struggle to remember whether dessert has one s or two? Just remember, desserts are the opposite of being stressed, literally. The cover of my book is grey, but is grey spelt with an A or an E? It's an A in America and an E in England. Never forget whether the clocks go forward or backwards by remembering that people spring forward but fall backwards. Let's see that in action. Have you ever been at a formal meal and didn't know which is your bread plate and your drink? Just form a D and a B with the thumb and first finger of each hand. Your bread plate is on the same side as the B and your drink is on the same side as the D. Oh look, my very entertaining mother just served us nachos, which also tells you the order of the planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. And remember how to spell the word mnemonic by looking it up in a dictionary. That one doesn't really work actually. And there are lots more hints and tips in my new book. It's very good.
