# How to Memorise a 60-Minute Set Without Losing Your Mind

Different people remember differently. The key is finding your learning mode — and switching when you plateau.

## Not everyone memorises the same way

Some people learn by listening. Some by reading. Some through visual cues. Some through movement.

## The eight modes

Audio, Read, Cue, First Letters, Colour, Storyboard, Journey, Random Recall. Each one works from the same routine — nothing is duplicated.

## Start with the one that feels natural

If you're an auditory learner, start with Audio mode. If you think in pictures, start with Storyboard. When you plateau, switch.
