What is the best mnemonic device for memorising an nsec?

I would have trouble remembering an entire nsec myself.

For me if I chunk things into 3 character parts, that helps me remember longer numbers etc, seems to have a flow or cadencein my head that works. If you could do that with bigger chunks of 6 or so it may work.

Ah you said nsec. I believe you can convert them to BIP-39 and still do this but with more complexity and steps.

Why not save it in a password manager like Keepass or Bitwarden?

That is certainly good practice, but memorising it means it's truly always available to you, even offline.
