This is a tool to help people recover what they may know. Facts, figures and images learned long ago have somehow faded away in the dark corners of their minds. Preparing a Memoropaedia can catalogue forgotten thoughts and memories so that dots can be joined and new combinations of ideas can be created.

Creative people are connectors. By linking things in different ways, something new emerges. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first great minds to observe; “Realise that everything connects to everything else.” Steve Jobs famously said; “Anything new is really a combination of old things”, in the Bible; Ecclesiastes 1:9 reads; “There is no new thing under the sun.” 

Memoropaedia© is a way of assembling and categorising our own unique collection of thoughts, memories and knowledge. We can  call on these thoughts to assemble new patterns and develop new ideas and insights, sometimes incongruously.  

The Memoropaedia© template contains a series of boxes, each of which can be headed for a subject of your interest or understanding. Hutch’s own Mikeopaedia is an example.
