Well said! One of my biggest downfalls when I was starting out was that I was overwhelmed with the amount of syntax and methods and whatnot to learn, and I would take excessive notes to attempt to memorize everything I came across, but yet I still had a hard time grasping the actual subjects i was studying.
Soon enought I realized it was actually hindering my learning, and I focused more on understanding the concepts and fundamentals rather than memorizing and I became exponentially better. If you should memorize anything at all, memorize fundamentals which apply in multiple ocassions, syntax and whatnot you'll usually memorize naturally through practice.

Absolutely, a similar feeling I had too when I started.
