Not a very long list right? LOL I already have the Muses down thanks to CCUTETEMP but the rest of it well it's not going so well.

Visualizing images and making a memory palace for this just isn't working for me.  I'm having a hard time coming up with the images and linking them to the list.

Got it, Don't laugh but I made a tune running in my head and memorized each item as part of the tune.  It was really easy once I got a rhythm going in my mind.  There is a draw back to doing it this way, I have to play the song from beginning to end each time.
