Most memorization techniques assume you can visualize (memory palaces, number shapes, face-name associations, …). None of it works for me.

Numbers are worst. I forget them seconds after hearing them. My girlfriend regularly teases me, that any number I tell her is completely unreliable.

Do you experience this as well? Or is it just bad memory and unrelated to aphantasia?

What do you do to remember names/ numbers? I would be super grateful for any recommendations for techniques that work without visualization.
