@David@setouchi.social my literature teacher in high school, some 30/35 years ago, always spoke of the "memory of the wrist" when learning about something. Find rhe information, copy it, organize it, hierarchize it, so it is visually impacting to your eyes, and then read it aloud once or twice, summarize it in writing. Repeat the process one or two times (if needed) but usually, by the second time, you pretty much retain the essentials, and when you come back to it a week later, all the details will come by to you when you try writing it down from memory :)

@LetoOfTheDesert@rivals.space Completely. I live in Japan, learning how to write is basically what you're saying. A few years ago, I went all digital for my planners and such, I soon realized that I couldn't remember anything in terms of schedules, meetings, and such. I went back to paper and notebook, and lo and behold, writing it makes me memorize it. Same when I was a student, and I'm sure we all have these experiences and memories (also I remember much better a paper book than an ebook)
