Proven methods are 'spaced repetition' and 'active recall'. Programms like Anki can help you enforce these methods without having to learn an awful lot about it.
If you were talking about remembering things "on the fly", I can't tell you a lot about it. Generally speaking, your brain can be trained to a certain extend. So telling yourself you're just like that might hinder you more than your actual preconditions.
- conor_f 5y agoI have used Anki extensively in the past. It works decently for me, but the primary issue I have is that there's no streamlined way to add information I have found. e.g. if I hear read a figure I want to remember, I have to go take out my phone/laptop, open the application, format it some way into a cloze style question, then go back to what I was reading. Do you use it in a more streamlined manner?
- WHA8m 5y agoUnfortunately I don't have a quick and easy way as well. It's a external program that has quite extensive options to create a knowledge base after all. How I do it, is, that that I make flashcards in bulks. I don't go back and forth to create a card here and there - like you mentioned, that is disrupting to the work flow - but rather make a reminder for later. If it's a non-fiction book, you'll have to go through it more than once either way. But yeah, not a quick and easy fix...
