I found this helpful...
I visualized each sentence happening. The sentence/action either went to my left or to my right in my mind's eye.
On the left are various businesses near where I live.
On the right are other businesses.
The two are separated by an alley.
This is the 'locus/loci' method.
If a sentence does not stay put [in other words, if I can't remember which side of the alley/street it happened] then I reinforce it with: action, ridiculous-ness, millions, enormous, exaggeration, embarrassing, noise, tell a story aloud, etc. (smell, touch, feelings, emotions, hearing, seeing, sensing, suspense) all heightened awareness
Anyway, try it. It is fun to do and it works for me.
