 +Theun:
 +  * The first step is looking at what structure / order makes sense for your 'data': ordered by alphabet, history, habitat, species, colour, etc.
 +  * Do I store it linearly in geography? (for example a timeline) 
 +  * Or grouped in a mind palace?(for example species)
 +  * I go through a process of a few days figuring out what the most useful ordering might be and small tests with 5 or so elements trying out ways of storing. 
 +  * I make small sketches to settle the narrative, otherwise variants keep coming up. 
 +  * Sketching also helps to figure out how much character I need to generate to capture details.
 +  * If characters are needed, what action and prop can I give them? 
 +  * Later in the process I can see if I need extra emphasis using the physicality of make visible or tangible artefacts to endorse the memories?
 +  * Lynne says that once established you will be inclined to do additional research on your subjects, I can confirm that. Making a mind-palace or walk, does trigger curiosity and you start to add more and more details into your subects, hooks, nodes.. (I observe this even after only two or three weeks of full-on experience.)

 +=== Don’t worry there is enough detail: ===
 +I kept expecting to strike trouble making up images or puns or other ways to make the families and species memorable. But whenever I pondered for a moment, playing with the name and letting my mind wander, I always found a link to the bead or shell, or the position on the board, or the grain of the wood.

   * Sixteen members of the duck family needed to be attached to one bead, which took a story. The story became a tale of a football match that ends in a massive brawl. The names of the first eight ducks became the players involved in this fight. Two tea ladies came onto the field at half-time (the grey teal and the chestnut teal) and the Australasian shoveler dug graves to bury the dead. The musk duck wore musky cologne for seduction in the stands, while the hardhead duck clobbered the pink-eared duck around the ears and left others black and blue with bruises, the blue-winged and the blue- billed ducks.   * Sixteen members of the duck family needed to be attached to one bead, which took a story.

   * I chose to remember the sixteen ducks in that order because those close to each other in the narrative are also similar scientifically. Those in the same genus I turned into partners, like the two tea ladies. Those tags just give me a bit more information. I now have sixteen duck-characters on which to build with more and more information about their identification and habits.   * I chose to remember the sixteen ducks in that order because those close to each other in the narrative are also similar scientifically.
