This is why I never took notes as a child. If I took notes I forgot everything I learned. If I didn't, I remembered it.

I found the opposite to be true for myself. If I don't take notes, I forget soon. But if I take notes, at the time of taking notes, I am processing the information in a way that I can explain myself. So somehow that helps me remember a little longer even if I don't read those notes a second time.
