My way: take notes.
Write everything down or summarize.
If you later remember and look it up, you either
This is exactly what I do.
I have a private wiki that I constantly expand. Makes it easy to search for forgotten solutions too.
There is "The Socratic Method" too, but it requires teacher
Feyman Technique is the most famous one, and it works for me the best, it one thing to emphasize, is that it takes a lot of effort, and can be tiresome, yet the result is priceless
Cool! Turns out I have been applying the blurting technique for a while and I didn't even know it.

Pomodoro... I think this one suits me now
I am using it alot and it really is effective.
You will NEVER remember everything you learn. The brain works based on application. Learn something, bring it to application, let it sit and repeat application. Unless you regularly use things and thereby strengthen neuronal connections in your brain, they will slowly disappear from memory.
Thatโs why programmers usually are very good researchers. You simply canโt remember everything. Your brain could never cope.
This reminds me of a scene in Inside Out (the Disney movie) where some creatures go around memories with a vacuum cleaner forgetting things we don't use anymore.
There is a method called My Method, Where I write down everything that is new to my brain, and then going to some of my friends knowing that they don't know nothing about this concept and I argue with them and teach them.
That is how I memorize things.
Personally, I don't see the benefit in memorizing a lot of things. Although I follow some variant of Feyman's Technique. I skip the fourth step of frequent revision. If you have it organised well enough, and you know how to find it; that is good enough in my opinion. Your brain should ideally be a place to generate ideas, not store them
Fact: you don't need to "memorize everything you learn" to be successful. You will only use such skill during bs exams pretending "knowing everything by heart" equals being good at something.
Quite contrary, the key is to recognize the key concepts that you really need to grasp and understand and to know where to find the details, if needed.
If you can, try to use handwriting instead of a keyboard.
This really helped me alot
thanks for advices ๐
I read Monetize ๐ค This is awesome too :D
I practice Blurting, it takes me where no book can.
Pomodoro is the best technique for me, been using it for years now. The most important you should only focus on the screen, off your mails, don't open your phone nor your mails.
