How can I improve my ability to remember telephone numbers?

You can create very clever associations for phone numbers. Numbers can have patterns, you can make a story out of it. I'll give you an example. I have a phone number which is 468-2058. So you want to picture Arthur Bornstein, he's got a memory classroom and there are four 68 year olds in the classroom. The teacher is 20, she's the cutest little 20 year old teacher. And she makes them feel like they are 58. So now you've established a little story. How many are in the class? Four. How old are they? 68. How old is that cute teacher? She's 20, and she makes them feel how old? 10 years younger, 58. So you've got 4, 68, 20, 58.
