 Introduction
YOU CAN REMEMBER ANYTHING!
Memory is power! Without memory, no knowledge can exist. You can
rapidly develop your memory to a phenomenal degree if you have a sincere
desire to do so. No learned skill can be so easily or dramatically developed
as the memory. You are about to discover that you can increase your
memory power to a phenomenal degree in just ten easy steps. Various
combinations of these ten steps will make it possible for you to rapidly
learn and remember virtually anything, no matter how complex the
information may be! This book includes the basic methods of my learning
system, enabling you to apply it to your own specific needs. If you spend an
average of only ten to fifteen minutes per day for just several weeks
learning these ten simple steps, you will be amazed and excited about your
newfound memory power!
In just minutes from now, when you learn the numbered room system,
you will see how this organized memory system can work for you.
Although the numbered room system is just the first step, it has many
applications. You will start slowly, then expand to more complex
applications. However, all of the memory techniques will be just as easy as
learning the numbered room system.
With more than two and a half million individuals having completed my
courses with an average of more than 95 percent retention, I can confidently
assure you that you will remember incredibly more of what you need to
remember because you will be seeing rather than reading or hearing. My
learning system is based on your natural ability to remember exceptionally
well the things that you see—even if what you see is only in your mind’s
eye—and I’ll show you how to change anything you want to remember into
something you can see. Then I’ll show you how to connect what you see
with something you already know. That’s it! It’s never any more difficult
than that! Even if the information is complex, you will always use only two
objects at a time. One object or familiar physical location will represent
what you already know and the other will represent what you want to
remember.
The memory skills taught in this book will help you achieve more in
less time than you have ever dreamed possible. They will arm you with a
competitive edge that others do not have (unless they have also discovered
the secrets revealed in this book). You will be able to put these skills into
practical use immediately. They will help you stay mentally alert for a
lifetime.
The purpose of this book is to teach you how to remember anything—
quickly, easily, and accurately. I will guide you step-by-step to phenomenal
memory power! Rather than boring you with the history of memory
techniques, how the brain works, why we forget, or philosophical reasons as
to why you should develop your memory skills, I will teach you how to
remember. After all, that must surely be the reason you are reading this
book.
Achieving results with the well-organized, dramatically effective
learning systems you will discover in this book will be one of the most
rewarding experiences of your life. It will also be one of the most exciting
and enjoyable. Additionally, you can use the techniques for the rest of your
life. Use your natural memory and common sense in every memory
application. Your natural memory, working in harmony with common sense
and effective memory techniques, will enable you to achieve phenomenal
results. Trust the system. I promise that you will be surprised and very
pleased with your results.
 Part I
THE TEN STEPS TO HOW TO REMEMBER
ANYTHING
 Step 1
A NUMBERED ROOM SYSTEM
As you read this chapter, place yourself in a square or rectangular
room. If you are not, just visualize a very familiar room that is square or
rectangular. Any room with four walls, four corners, a floor, and a ceiling
will work. That’s ten locations.
There are only ten single-digit numbers—zero through nine. I am going
to permanently assign the ten single-digit numbers to the ten basic locations
of any square or rectangular room.
Visualize yourself at the center of the room, and turn so that you are
facing the front wall of the room. Any wall can be chosen to represent the
front wall of the room.
As you look at the following illustration of the numbered room
locations, look, also, at the corresponding room locations in the room in
which you are now located or the room that you are visualizing.
As you look at the illustration, note that the four corners are odd
numbers: 1, 3, 5, and 7. They start in the back left corner, and move
clockwise to the corners around the room:

Back left corner is location 1

Front left corner is location 3
Front right corner is location 5
Back right corner is location 7
 The four walls of the room are the even numbers: 2, 4, 6, and 8. They
start at the left wall, and move clockwise to the walls around the room:

Left wall is location 2

Front wall is location 4
Right wall is location 6
Back wall is location 8

The ceiling of the room is location 0 and the floor is location 9.

I suggest that you put this book down and look around the room. Look
at all the locations, starting with 0 at the ceiling, then 1, 2, 3, and so on.
Then look at them in reverse order. Last, look at each location randomly
and think of the number assigned to it.
You now have a memory bank for the numbers 0 through 9. Before
continuing, please be certain you know the ten numbered room locations.
For example, when you think of number 7, you should immediately think of
the back right corner of the room. If you think of number 2, you should
immediately think of the left wall.
You should be able to close your eyes and see each of the ten locations
forward, backward, or randomly. You should also be able to think of any
number between 0 and 9 and quickly see its room location in your mind.
I call this numbered room system a Cube, even though you will seldom
be in a room that is actually a cube. This numbered Cube methodology has
been used in thousands of academic and corporate applications with
unprecedented success.
Let’s suggest that you want to learn and remember information in which
a numbered sequence is important. For example, let’s use the first nine
presidents of the United States. The information you want to remember
could be any numbered sequence. Please follow the steps very carefully,
even if you are not interested in the content. The content is not what is
important. What’s important is to know how the system works so you can
use it in almost limitless practical applications.
I mentioned earlier that all of my memory techniques include only two
objects at a time. One object represents what you already know and the
other represents what you want to remember. Both must be objects or
locations you can see. In this case, you already know the nine numbered
locations in the Cube. We will not use the 0 location (ceiling) for this
exercise. You can actually see or visualize each of the nine locations, so
these are your knowns or what you already know.
What you want to remember is the name of the president for each of the
nine numbered locations. That means the name of each president must be
converted to something you can see. To do this, I’ll change the name of
each president to a soundalike picture, as follows:

President Sounds Like or Suggests

Washington washing machine
Adams (newspaper) ad
Jefferson chef (the object is based on sound, not on spelling)
Madison medicine
Monroe money
Adams (newspaper) ad
Jackson (automobile) jack
Van Buren van
Harrison hair
 Be certain that you know the soundalike picture for each of the
presidents before continuing.
The next step is to associate each soundalike picture with its numbered
Cube location. This will automatically give you the numerical sequence of
each president.
Look at location 1 (the back left corner). As you look at location 1, see a
gigantic washing machine filling the entire corner! Imagine that the
washing machine is running, the lid is open, and water and wet clothing is
pouring out all over you!
Later, when you think of number 1—the first president—think of
location 1, the back left corner. See the washing machine and remember
Washington.
Look at location 2 (the left wall). As you look at the left wall, see a
gigantic ad—a newspaper ad! Later, when you think of number 2, think of
location 2—the left wall. See the ad and remember Adams, the second
president.
Look at location 3 (the front left corner). See a chef standing in the
corner! The chef reaches from the floor to the ceiling! If you were ever to
see this in real life, how could you ever forget it? Later, when you think of
number 3, think of location 3—the front left corner. See the chef and
remember Jefferson.
Look at location 4—the front wall. As you look at the front wall, see
medicine pouring out of it! It is liquid medicine and it is really messy.
Imagine the medicine pouring out of the front wall all over you! Later,
when you think of number 4, think of location 4—the front wall. See the
medicine and remember Madison.
Next, look at location 5 (the front right corner). See money bursting out
of the front right corner of the room. Imagine that you may have all the
money you can carry! Later, when you think of number 5, think of location
5—the front right corner. See the money and remember Monroe.
Look at location 6—the right wall—and see a gigantic ad on the wall!
You also saw an ad at location 2—the left wall. That’s okay. Imagine a
gigantic ad covering both the left wall and the right wall—locations 2 and
6! Later, when you think of number 6, think of location 6—the right wall.
See the ad and remember Adams (the son of the second president).
Look at location 7—the back right corner. Turn and look over your right
shoulder at the back right corner. See a gigantic jack (an automobile jack).
It reaches from the floor to the ceiling! Later, when you think of number 7,
think of location 7—the back right corner. See the jack and remember
Jackson.
Look at location 8 (the back wall). Imagine that, all of a sudden, a van
bursts through the back wall of the room! See it! Hear the crash! Later,
when you think of number 8, think of location 8—the back wall. See the
van and remember Van Buren.
Next, look at location 9 (the floor). See hair growing out of the floor!
The entire floor has hair growing out of it! Imagine that you can feel the
hair growing up over your ankles, up past your knees— the hair keeps
growing out of the floor! Later, when you think of number 9, think of
location 9—the floor. See the hair and remember Harrison.
Now that you have mentally stored these nine objects, see if you can
recall them forward, backward, and randomly. Cover the Picture and
President columns below. Look at each numbered location in sequence and
randomly. Recall the picture associated with each numbered location and
the president it represents. Uncover to confirm that you are correct.

Room Location Picture President

1 washing machine Washington
2 ad Adams
3 chef Jefferson
4 medicine Madison
5 money Monroe
6 ad Adams
7 jack Jackson
8 van Van Buren
9 hair Harrison
How did you do? If you had difficulty remembering the object in any of
the locations, it is likely because you did not see or imagine what was in
that location as illogically as you should have. When you associate any
object with any location, be certain to involve all of your senses, if possible.
See it, feel it, hear it, and so forth. Exaggerate the size. Involve yourself in
the association (see the object knocking you down, pouring over you, and
so on). Be certain you know all nine numbered objects forward, backward,
and randomly before continuing.
If you think of the name of a president, you should be able to
immediately know his sequential number in office, (such as Jackson is a
jack in location 7, so he is the seventh president).
You can quickly discover the power of your own mind through the use
of organized memory techniques such as the numbered Cube methodology.
Many have told me that they have enjoyed demonstrating the system to
their family and friends.
You will use this system often for many different applications. I have
used it in corporate, academic, and personal applications to learn and
remember:
• Corporate objectives
• Safety procedures
• Schedules and things to do
• An outline of an entire book
• Emergency procedures
• Sequential steps in the operation of equipment
• An airline pilot checkoff list
• The periodic table of the elements in chemistry
• The books of the Bible
• The Ten Commandments
• Speeches and presentations without notes
• How to conduct a business meeting without notes
• Planets in their numbered sequence from the sun
• Zodiac signs
• Grocery lists
• Top ten lists
The use of the Cube methodology is almost limitless. It is fast, easy,
dependable, and very practical.
HOW TO SET UP YOUR OWN PERMANENT
ROOMS
Although I asked you to use the room in which you are now located for
the earlier exercise, I recommend that you use your bedroom to
permanently establish a room for the numbers zero through nine because it
is likely to be one of your most familiar rooms. Call it your Units Cube or
Units room because it includes the single-digit numbers, zero through nine.
You may ask, “How would the Cube method work if there are more
than nine things to remember?” Just go (mentally) to another familiar room!
If you use your bedroom for the numbers 0 through 9, you may want to use
your living room or dining room, for example, for your next room. All that
matters is that the room is very familiar to you. You must be able to see the
ceiling, the corners, the walls, and the floor, even if you are not physically
there.
Your next room is numbered just like your Units room. Start with 0 on
the ceiling, then the back left corner (location 1), the left wall (location 2),
and continue around the room, ending with the floor (location 9). The only
difference is that there is a 1 in front of every number. Therefore, the ceiling
is 10, the back left corner is 11, the left wall is 12, and ending with the
floor, which is 19. This is called the 10s room because it includes the
numbers 10 through 19.
You can easily expand the numbered Cube system to a 20s room (20
through 29), a 30s room (30 through 39), and so on. What makes this
system so easy to learn and use is that there is nothing to memorize. If, for
example, your kitchen is your 20s room and you need a number 29, just use
your 29 location—the floor of your 20s room or the floor of your kitchen.
Remember, location 9 is always the floor, so location 49 would be the floor
of your 40s room.
How many rooms will you need? For most of your daily needs, two or
three rooms are sufficient. If, however, you want to learn anything
sequentially numbered that has thirty, fifty, one hundred items or more, such
as the presidents of the United States or the periodic table of the elements in
chemistry, you will need enough rooms to accommodate the required
number. For example, you would need five rooms for the presidents and
eleven rooms for the chemical elements.
You might say, “Hold it! I live in a one-room apartment!” That’s okay!
The rooms need not be in the same house or apartment. They need not even
be in the same town.
None of my rooms are in my present residence. They are located miles
away where I lived years ago. I can still clearly see there every corner, wall,
floor, and ceiling of each room that I use. I can even see the furniture in all
of the rooms just as if I had seen the rooms yesterday. That’s because I used
those rooms for the numbered Cube system when I lived there and I never
stopped using them.
Although you may not need more rooms than you have at your present
residence, if you do need more rooms, here are a few suggestions:
• A place you used to live (but only if you can clearly see all
of the locations within the room or rooms)
• Office(s) where you work
• Your club
• Your church
• A relative’s home
• A neighbor’s home
• Your garage
• A very familiar restaurant
To practice seeing the numbered room locations, you should prepare a
set of flash cards (ten for each room). If you want a memory bank of
twenty-nine numbered locations, you will need three rooms (each room
ends at the floor with number 9). If you want exactly forty numbered
locations, you will need five rooms (but you would use only the ceiling of
the fifth room for number 40). Here is an easy way to view it, as well as an
example of the various rooms you might use:

first room 0–9 bedroom

next room (10s room) 10–19 living room
next room (20s room) 20–29 den
next room (30s room) 30–39 kitchen
next room (40s room) 40–49 dining room
When you set up your permanent rooms, you should be able to see or
imagine every numbered location within every room you are using. It is
easier than you may think. For example, you can see your kitchen in your
mind—even if you are not in your kitchen right now. You can see your
refrigerator in a specific location within your kitchen. You know what color
it is. You know if the door opens from the right to the left or from the left to
the right. You even know what it looks like inside. But you are not there!
That is how the numbered Cube system works. You can see each room
