Like a budget hard drive after 6 months use, my memory is shot. I feel like I can barely remember anything.
I’ve been learning to code for the past 6 months and I have to periodically relearn all the concepts I had already learnt to implement them. I must mention that I am also trying to learn another language as well as do my full-time day job at the same time.
It feels like I am barely making any progress and that has been a shot in the arm to my confidence.
I don’t want to feel like I suck at everything, the only thing I think I have going for myself is that I think I can improve myself.
Any tips to help with memory retention?

i write millions of notes for everything.
to that i add a similar amount of reminders.
not just for learning etc.
also for things like the first todos of the next day: shower, prepare food, pack this, …
for remembering for short-medium timeranges very simple notes suffice.
i know lots of stuff. i just can’t access it without a trigger.
Yes! This is exactly how I work. I’ve said before that my brain works like the Google home page: Completely blank until it gets input, then, it spews out everything it knows related to that input.
