I have an extremely bad short term memory. If you tell me something and I don’t write it down or think about it intensely for a while, I’ll forget it in minutes.

I write everything down because of this. Bullet points, paragraphs etc.

I second it. My brain is also tuned to discard most of the information which is easily available for retrieval through print or online resource. I have to write any new information or concept multiple times In order to retain it for few days.
