Re:The Usefulness of a Memory Guides Where the Brain Saves It by 12907835202 on Monday September 04, 2023 @12:46PM (#37382191)
I have a daily diary I've kept for 6 years. It's just bullet points but everyday I can see what I did 30 days ago and the same date every year. I think that's helped reinforce those memories.

That strengthening of memories ideas has lead me to think I should do the same for everything I learn. Just quick bullet points I'm reminded of later.

But I've never done it mostly because it would be too taxing. I often fill in what I did 3 days later not on the day and remembering what I learnt 3 days ago is even harder than remembering what I did.

I've meant to try and build a habit like making a quick note everytime I go to the toilet or have a drink but again, haven't managed it yet.
