I recently learned about the “method of loci” technique and I found it a very interesting way to improve my memory, especially for memorizing large amounts of information. But I have a few questions: how effective does this technique work in practice? How long does it take to master it and start using it? Are there any tips on creating “mental routines” for those who are just starting out? And most importantly - are there cases when the loci method works better for some types of information and worse for others?
