Great work so far!

Vera recommends that if you are having a difficult time with an ABC list on a subject, break it down into "micro actions." Try to find just two words for your list per day. The training effects on the brain are cumulative so even doing a little, you will build your list and memory. The more you practice your lists, the easier re-construction will be.

Since you already know the Anchorman list, tie your new list to those items, because the Anchorman List is part of your existing memory web and working knowledge.

You could assign a logical order to your new concepts or words, which will link each one to each of your anchor list. If you have nine topics, just use the first nine in your anchor list.

Remember to be creative, playful, use emotion or humor, which the brain will perceive more vividly. Even if consciously you don't easily visualize the connections you create, non-consciously your brain will create images.
