    That is actually quite effective, though I would likely spell out the 35 and allow sylization to create numerics.

    You can likely now remember that phrase “My-brain-isnt-made-for-35c” forever if you just reinforce the memory from time to time. Creating an absurd image in your head or even using a real image to associate is another good way of remembering something. For this, I would leave myself a clue of ‘I thought 36 was OK’.

    Maybe not for everything though.

    Look, the amount of negativity I’m generating for myself just trying to encourage a simple alternative and self reliance is really irking me. I’ve used this method for twenty years or so, and found it to be extremely effective. Consider it a door. Use it if you want. It is possible. You are better and smarter than a machine or software. Last post about it.

      All good with me. Feel free to PM (DM?) Me with reasoning and if there’s research you’re aware of that supports. I admit I know too little.

      I had a phrase that was the first letter of the title books on my shelf from left to right. I don’t use it anymore but I still remember it.

      Last point. Many of us have hundreds of passwords because you need a password to log into everything. Even a dog walker portal is some software platform making you setup an account. I think that’s gone way too far requiring a login for everything. I want to buy, for example, some yogurt cultures from a fermentation store. Not setup an account become best friends.
