1 use the same type of pencil marked with a certain color at the tip, or painted, or taped with colored electrical tape 2 imagine yourself at the same desk, even creating a mock situation when you study 3 Picture Jesus in the room in the same location, picture his face, remember his words, no he is always the same forever and ever never changing. He will be your ultimate encoding specificity principal.
