That's called mnemonics - it means using a word to remember something else. For instance, if you want to remember the musical notes for each of the five lines on the bar, just remember Every Good Boy Deserves Food. Or if you want to know what coordinating conjunctions are in grammar, just remember FANBOYS - For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
Mnemonics have been used for a long time and it's a very effective way of remembering things. You may check out my website in my profile if you want to learn more English :)
Good luck.

There is a new tool thats been developed here - greedge.com/wordtracker. They highlight words as you visit webpages. It also displays the meaning when u scroll over the word. But its only for the 3500word list for GRE exam. I am not aware if u could add more. I also use pictures to remember words. For my GRE I started with etymology. Its the best way to remember words for me.

You have given a very good method to remember words. Your method goes on lines with a method called mnemonics where we take the first letter of every abstract word and make a meaningful word instead which can be remembered very easily.
