Thanks a lot for your reply!
I think I am going to create persons and actions for single targets first. My memo will get quite long then but I don't think thats a problem for me since I am kinda familiar with memory palaces. If I succeed with this I will report it here ;)
It will be a huge problem if you want to get even remotely fast...

You will be memoing twice as much information and that will obviously take more time. But if you just want a success then that is probably going to work

Yeah I just want a succes in the first place, but if I can consistently get successes I am stuck with an useless method. Therefore I will have some looking at Speffz again and keep trying that... Thanks alot for helping me.

Yeah I agree with the last comment. If you think you will want to continue and progress with BLD, invest the time to learn good methods and techniques early. Otherwise it will be harder to switch later.

Another problem with this is that you'd have a much smaller pool of persons/actions. If you do several solves in one session, every solve is likely to have 5-6 same persons/actions in edge memo as your previous solve, only in different order. This would easily confuse your memo. The more unique each memo, the better.

For speffz you only really need to come up with a word for each letter pair once. Think through your letters and choose to use those that fit your language the best, in case there are extra letters in your language. Adjustments to letter scheme can also be made to include letters that otherwise wouldn't be used as part of your buffer. I, for example, have D in the place of Q, because D is my buffer sticker for both corners and edges (I use a slightly different lettering scheme from speffz).

Anyone have trouble "forgetting" their memo's? I have trouble "cleaning out" my rooms.
For 3bld, even tho I use images for long term memo, I usually forget it by next solve no problem, as for multi/4bld/5bld, I'm not really an expect but I think you should make sure that you have plenty of rooms to use and preferably not use the same one until the following day.

Does anyone know how Maskow uses short term memo? Does he just not have any system and do his numbers and math symbols?

I'm having trouble figuring out where to put stuff in my rooms for MBLD. I memo c/e and then execute e/c for 3BLD and MBLD.
I have 5 rooms so far, and can fit 2 cubes in each room.
The trouble is, when I put my corners in first and my edges second in a cw fashion, when I execute the cube, I half to walk halfway through the room before I can start executing.
If I put my corners in first, halfway through the room and put my edges at the beginning of the room, I have a nicer execution, but my memo is a little weird.

How do you guys get around this? Should I start memoing e/c for MBLD?

Memo one cube per room, place the edge memo in the middle of the room and the corner memo in the corners/sides of the room. That way you're mentally walking and looking into the center (and most part) for edge execution.

Thanks for the replies.
I guess I'll start e/c memo.

@Ollie Perhaps I misspoke a little: I know how to put things in my rooms, but I was having trouble putting things in order.
I have 4 edges in 1 location, for three locations. 4 corners in 1 location, for 2 locations. I can those 5 locations on 1 side of a room, and another cube on the other side. I don't think putting all the edges in the middle of a room would work for me.
