The trick is to not use numbers. Use a tchotchke placed in a prominent place on your desk. My password changes frequently. The previous tchotchke was a goat pin, then a cactus figurine, then a binder clip. I just need to picture my desk and I know what the thing is.
And my desk is so cluttered it’s not clear what the special object is. (You know what they say: cluttered desk, cluttered mind. Empty desk…)

You just gave me a good idea running off the same sort of concept, but allowing for numerical characters too. Whenever I gotta do my mandatory 90 day resets, I’ll pick a song title followed by the track length in 4 digits. Make a playlist of those songs in case I’m an idiot, and I basically have the passwords written down on a notepad.
