Mnemonic is a memory device, which helps to remember something for a long time in the human memory. We remember different colors of the spectrum by ‘VIBGYOR', so, ‘VIBGYOR' acts as a useful mnemonic to remember the colors of the spectrum. In this article, time economic mnemonics have been discussed to create interest and remove the phobia of spectators in the field of chemical education. Educators can use these numerous mnemonics in their teaching style in classroom lectures to make chemistry intriguing. Here, I have discussed how educators should approach conversations around complex topics with respect for the audience's perspective in the light of mnemonics along with my experiences around science communication in the field of chemistry. Here, I have tried to focus various time economic mnemonics by including thirty-eight (38) new formulae in the field of organic and inorganic chemical education. It will encourage learners to solve questions at different competitive examinations on a time economic ground. This content makes chemical education metabolic, time-economic, and interesting for UG to PG level students because the use of mnemonics on critical thinking in classroom lectures is an essential tool to become an eminent educator. It may be expected that these time economic innovative mnemonics would go a long way to help to the students of chemistry at Undergraduate, Senior Undergraduate and Post-Graduate level who would choose the subject as their career. Experiment <i>in vitro</i> on 100 students showed that by using these formulae students can save up to 30-40 mins time in the examination hall.These formulae based mnemonics are also suitable for computer-based learning (CBL) activities or for writing computer programs to solve chemistry problems.
