I don't reddit, but I'll suggest mnemonic peg systems for the list. They're definitely a hack, and they are a surprisingly big boost for short-term memorization and building up ad hoc mnemonics.
I recently built a set of pegs (number/image pairs), myself, and love it. I don't use it for lists, but I find it helpful for memorizing numbers in general - it gives me a way to encode numbers and pin them to objects (say, someone's birthday, or the dose of a certain drug)
