Yes your physiology is limited and you need to augment your functionality with some kind of remembering machine. Like a notebook, or like some kind of app on your phone. Or a spreadsheet. Or a SQLite DB. Basically I think if you take notes on important details and then have some system for organizing and looking them up, that might be very helpful. Like I found a part of a book that explains how to do logical synthesis and I bookmarked it, so I can keep going back to reread it every now and then in order to do stuff.

What’s the book? I’ve never developed a good system for note-taking while I read, apart from marking up books and making marginal notes, which can be somewhat helpful. But I never developed the discipline of turning those into useful notes. My memory, which has never been good, has naturally gotten worse as I’ve gotten older and more sleep-deprived, so I now feel like most of my reading is retained for about twenty minutes after I’ve read something.
- jacobwilliamroy 3y agoI think it's called "Mathematical Methods for Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems". It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Methods-Artificial-Intelligence-Autonomous/dp/0135609135 https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Methods-Artificial-Intel... I found my copy at Goodwill.
- firewolf34 3y agoThis exactly. There's an old-school method called Zettelkasten, which you can apply to modern computing systems like Org Roam or similar "databases" if you so choose.
- jacobwilliamroy 3y agoThanks for pointing out zettelkasten. I have to memorise a bunch of facts for an exam and this seems like a good system.
- dv35z 3y agoCheck out https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/3982438802/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/3982438802/ref=dp_ob_neva_mob.... It goes into depth on how to practically setup the system. Absolutely fascinating & life changing book. The title doesn’t quite convey the genius contained.
