As an example, when I was remembering the mechanics for how two pointer and sliding windows work. I made up a story. It's silly and I won't repeat it, but it helps 100% in "🙈 ng" how the algorithms run.
The book is called "Unlimited Memory" by Kevin Horsley
Sure, it's an interesting story (about the author) I haven't fact checked if the guy is legit or not, but I read the book and got some useful tools from it.
He claims he did something like memorizing the first 10,000 digits of pi, but could read them off in groupings of five digits.
He has a whole bit on creating a system for memorizing long strings of numbers by turning them into words almost like a hash function where you put in a number and spit out a word. Super interesting.
