Although it's a different form than what I've used in the past. Usually I use an acronym or else a cutesy rhyme-ish thing to remember things.

For example, can you recite the 5 freedoms protected by the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution? I can -- religion, assembly, press, petition, and speech. RAPPS:
Religion
Assembly
Press
Petition
Speech

Can you recite the planets in order starting from the innermost?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. (I don't care what they say, Pluto always has been and always will be a planet in my book!)
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.

This is an interesting different approach, though. Seems like it would be more useful in more situations than my methods. I will have to put this to the test -- I have an absolutely terrible memory, so provided I can remember the method we'll see if it will help me remember other things more betterer...
