What is your preferred method for genuinely remembering material before a significant interview or presentation?

I've been experimenting with many methods, such as Notion, Anki, and simple notes, but none of them truly work as a comprehensive system.

In particular, trying to find something that will assist me:

• quickly save and arrange information
• when it counts, actually remember it, don’t merely acknowledge it
• when I have a deadline, I get ready quickly

What suits you? Workflows, apps, and techniques are all acceptable. I would be interested in hearing about actual setups.
