regular peg word, "net" for that. So, "nut" must stand for
Tuesday at 11:00 o'clock.
Saturday at 12:00 o'clock could be represented by "chin."
Your regular peg word, "chain," represents Saturday at 2:00
o'clock, so you know that "chin" must mean Saturday at
12:00. Do you get it, now? Basically, it's this:— For any day
at eleven or twelve o'clock use the same sounds that you
would use for that day at one or two o'clock, but do not
use your regular peg word. That's all there is to that!
If all your appointments are usually made for the exact
hour, on the hour, you actually need read no further about
memorizing appointments; you have all the information
you need right now. Supposing you have an appointment
to see your dentist at 9:00 o'clock on Tuesday, and you
want to be sure that you won't forget it. Well, transpose
Tuesday at 9:00 o'clock, to the peg word, "knob," and asso-
ciate that to dentist. You might picture a gigantic doorknob
as a dentist, or you could see (and feel) your dentist pulling
a knob from your mouth, instead of a tooth.
If you had to remember to make a deposit at your bank
on Monday at 2:00 o'clock—you would associate "tin" to
bank. You have to catch a plane on Friday at 11:00 o'clock
—associate "loaded" or "lad" (according to the method
you're using for 11:00 and 12:00 o'clock) to airplane.
Wednesday at 10:00 o'clock you have to visit a friend—
associate "mice" to your friend, etc.
If you usually have appointments with people whom you
do not know too well, or if you cannot picture them, use a
substitute word for their names in your associations.
That's all you have to do. If you have made an association
for all your appointments for an entire week, and you want
to remember what you have scheduled for, say, Tuesday—
simply go over the peg words for that particular day:—
Tuesday—nose, net, nun, name, Nero, nail, notch, neck,
