I typically split things into 3 digit or 2 digit numbers.
If I have to remember the phone number 5048186 for example I
first split it into the pieces 504, 81, 86. This gives
me the words laser, fat, and fish . Then I imagine
a laser beam burning through a fat fish and the face of the person whose
name I have to remember. Something like that, with lots of action and emotion.
You'll never forget it if you have vivid pictures, lots of action,
and some emotional engagement.
