I think this is one of the main points in moonwalking with Einstein, discussed in a sister thread. By the end of the book, the author wins the American memory championship and the following day he forgot where he parked his car. These memory techniques are like a notebook. They won’t make you remember stuff any better, but if you wrote something down (in your memory palace or notebook) you can look it up.
