Training for memory to make the brain sparkle

I am so inspired by "Redesign your Brain", that I am undertaking to memorize the deck of cards.  Here is how to do it.

1. Place the cards around your house, three to a room.
2. Give each card three characteristics a person, an action and an object.
3. I wrote all this onto a list.
4. To aid your memory, in your mind, visit each room in your house to help recall the three cards of that particular room.
5. To reproduce the deck from memory "walk through the rooms of your house" threading a story using either the name, or object or the action.

I am giving it my best shot.  I have really enjoyed myself practicing. It requires so much concentration that I cannot be stressed or distracted by the usual dramas of daily life
