Try stories, decide what you want to memorize and make up a very silly story that incorporates the items you want to memorize. The more ridiculous the better. Replay the story in your mind until it sticks. It's much easier than lists and it has the added advantage that you can pick an item and see how it relates to the other items by following the story from the item forward.
