First Letter Technique

The First Letter Technique is a memory aid where you use the first letter of each item in a list to create a word or phrase. This helps you recall complex or lengthy information more easily. For example, to remember the planets in order, you might use the phrase "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles," where each initial stands for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It simplifies memorization by turning a series of items into a manageable, memorable cue.
