The study of The Oath continues! Building off the torrent of creativity and play that we go through as GMs, it’s important to dedicate time and energy to our memory. The power to recall and reference all the juicy details, lessons, and ideas we pick up throughout the week or even in the middle of the session.

I won’t spoil the whole workshop but I did want to jot down some of the principles I referenced throughout the discussion. Most of them were picked up from a book called 4-Hour Chef by Timothy Ferriss. It’s practically a textbook, but I have enjoyed the principles presented, even though the tone of the whole book comes off a little brazen.

Now I know that acronyms won’t work for everyone. Memorizing, bullets, long-form notes, whatever. They all have a place and a person that resonates with them. So find what works for you and lean into it. Try things out and put effort into your own memory. I know that it will benefit your game. But what do you think? How do you remember everything you need for your games?
