Aphantasia alone won't stop you from using memory palaces. If you can remember what you did this morning and where you did those things, you can use a memory palace. It's more about locations and events than visualizing pictures. There are some discussions and examples here:

- LordGrey 5y agoThank you for the link. I have tried to use memory palaces. The result is that now I have to remember two things rather than one (the memory palace location and the thing I'm trying to remember). To be fair, I also seem to have Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM) and that will impact personal memory recovery quite a bit. SDAM is common in conjunction with Aphantasia, and perhaps the two combined are conspiring against me in this instance.
