I've decided to commit this process to memory. This involves three steps.

1. Associate pictures with each number, 0 through 9 (I went ahead and did 0 through 10)
2. Associate pictures with each month
3. Assemble these pictures into twelve scenes, one for each month, involving each month and code's number.

So far, I've memorized images for each number. It was super easy. Byrnison, try it! It only took me a lunch today do, and I'm slightly drunk and still remember them all. I just made these up, feel free to use your own list. I saw some lists online that looked pretty lame...remember, you're going to have to put these objects in scenes to remember other stuff...having a 'baseball team' for number 9 just seems unwieldy and not very flexible. (eg, I'd rather imagine a cat in a bucket for 95 than a baseball team in a bucket). There are a lot of tricks you can do with this list once you have it down, not just this one. I'll probably start a new 'memory tricks' thread once I get more time to research them.

Here's mine:

1. The one ring from lord of the rings
2. Two penguins (who mate for life)
3. A tree--sounds like three, and 'three on the tree' from old motorsports resonates
4. Door. Sounds like four, my picture has four panels, and i'm on the market for a '4-door' aka sedan
5. Bucket...a five gallon bucket
6. Gun. specifically a Six Shooter
7. Dice. Seven is the most common dice roll, also 'seven come eleven!'
8. Ball. Magic 8 ball says, this will be easy to remember
9. Cat. Cat o' nine tails or cats with nine lives, depending on whether i'm in a kinky mood or not
10. Tin can. Ten sounds like tin, plus my image is a tin can radio, with one can standing up and one laying down that looks like a ten
Zero. An egg. I knew someone who used "The ol' goose egg" as slang for zero or nothing, plus they're both round.

Once you pick out your ten (or eleven) images, find clipart that makes you happy for each one, and print that sheet. Study it a few times, then flip it over and try to draw all 11 pictures from memory. Then do it again. And again. Three times was enough for me to have them pretty permanently etched.

Tomorrows task: Month pictures (and more drilling on the number pictures to make sure they stuck).
