Applications Are Limitless
The principle involved here is one which will apply to any need of adult, as well as child, life. Whenever there is a need for remembering a list or series of any kind the mental Hitching Posts can be relied upon to accomplish the result, if the method is properly applied. Business men are using this idea every day of their lives and working more efficiently because of time saved and increased accuracy. Use this yourself and see to it that your children form the habit.
Important Points to be Followed
For best results in using this idea:
Always use the same series of code words for the same purpose, do not change lists from day to day.
Be systematic, always file the first item or errand with the first object of the series you are using; do not skip around.
Any Hitching Post will carry any impression which you wish to place there. Your mind only needs a hint to start it right.
Be sure and photograph the picture which your imagination constructs. You will not remember it unless you see it.
Review once for safety. If you are filing a list of items or errands then review each picture and be sure you can recall it accurately before going on to the next.
To file permanent information which you wish to retain and use occasionally it is necessary to review your picture several times and to concentrate upon it longer to strengthen the impression.
