I'm supposed to be an assistant manager at Jimmy John's. I am good at doing that stuff. But they want me to remember the whole fucking menu and write it down on paper. What the fuck. I dropped out of college specifically because I couldn't do that. How do I fix this? Flash cards and writing it down aren't working. I just do the thing for a given amount of reps like it's the gym and retain nothing. Now my parents are screaming at me telling me I'm gonna fail and shouldn't have tried at all so I'm freaking out and shutting down. (From the guy who cut his fingertip off with a box cutter this week).

Be creative. You need to create a mnemonic for each item on the menu that is easier to remember. By remembering the mnemonic it will make it easier to remember the item on the menu. Thats how memory champions do it. Often they create a memory palace which is a location you walk through in your mind with iconic items in it that remind you of what you're memorizing.

Download Anki and run through the flashcards of each menu item until you know them in your sleep.

>mnemonic for each item on the menu
This. Long time ago I got a job as a mail sorter by doing this in order to memorize postal codes. It would surely be much easier with a restaurant menu.

Use the first few letters of each item to create a sentence that makes sense and you can memorize, you need to relate them to each other instead of studying them independently.

Anki is no good for lists and sequential information like this.
