Next you need to assign numbers to the furniture.

To do this, you should stand in the doorway of a room, start on your left, and move around the room clockwise numbering five large items.

In the first room, you'll number the furniture items 1-5; in the second room, number them 6-10; and so on.

Review these over and over in your mind until you know them, says White.

"Say them forward and backwards over and over again, until you know them cold — or until someone could say, 'What was number 10?' and you could say what it was just like that," White says in his YouTube tutorial of the process.

Now you want to assign presidents to each item — but as you do this, you want to think of an image, smell, taste, sound, or feeling associated with each name for each piece of furniture.

"The more action and emotion, the better," says White.

For instance, if item No. 1 is a table, imagine someone washing the table, with soap and water flying everywhere. Why? Because Washington was the first president, and he will be assigned to the table, since it's item No.1, and "washing" sounds like "Washington."

If item No. 2 is a desk, imagine a dam on a river running through the desk, since "a dam" sounds like "Adams," the second president.

Do this for each president and item, one through 44.

"This is how you memorize," says White. "You really want to see the images on the furniture. The more vivid you can make the images — by actually hearing the sounds of the water, tasting the food, feeling the heat of a fire, etc. — the better you will remember it."

Don't just memorize the names today and then never practice again.

"Review them every now and then to cement it into your long term memory," says White.
