Description

** WELCOME TO THE MEMORY EXPERTS' TOOLS: THE PEG SYSTEM COURSE **

The PEG Memory System is extremely efficient, but at the same time easy to learn and to apply.

It is a method you use every day, even though you may not realize it.

The essence of this technique is described by the memory expert Harry Lorraine in just a few words:

"Screw a short peg into a wall—and you can hang your jacket or coat on it. Keep a peg in your mind —and you can hang any thought on it."

This system is straightforward to learn and you can begin using it immediately. The ordered structure created with help of the Peg system, whether it is a numbered list, a an alphabetic list or your body parts will help you memorize:

- lists of items (ideas, concepts, topics to cover in a presentation, etc.);

- to-do lists or shopping lists;

- short or medium numbers like PINs or telephone numbers;

- dates, birthdays and anniversaries;

- or ... information for exams.

The most popular PEG-type systems are:

Alphabet System

I'm sure you will enjoy it and I can't wait to be your guide and mentor on this exciting new journey!
