Some of the strongest and easy to remember passwords are just a few words strung together with a few numbers.
For example: Simpsons7-Purple4-Monkey1-Dishwasher8
Just remember "Simpsons Purple Monkey Dishwasher" and "7418". You're probably never going to forget that and I just tossed it into a password strength tester and it said it would take about 46 billion years to randomly guess it.
Now remember these types of passwords, all different for different services. It's not a realistic expectation. Password managers are a must nowadays if you want to protect your accounts. But these types of passwords are also easier to type out.
My tactic is use a memorizeable passphrase as the unlock for the vault and assorted gibberish for anything in the vault
