bedroom or kitchen at home or a favorite route in the park. It
doesn't matter where, as long as the location can be easily
recalled accurately by the doer.

the fish followed by the big willow tree bearing cell phones for fruits
and lastly, as you sat by the benches, a picnic basket approaches
and sells you what is inside it. Each time you visit the park or
any other place you're strongly familiar with; you can immediately
associate the specific locations with any items you need to remember.
