Learning new things is one of my favourite things on this planet.
Because it’s so important to me, the weight of retention weighs heavily on me. “How on earth can I remember all this, and how can I use it?”
Time Ferriss gave great advice on this, he said “the good sh*t sticks”
We can try different systems of note taking and revisiting, but at the end of the day we cannot remember it all…
…and we shouldn’t really try to.
Just trust that the things that strike a chord, that prove to be useful, that make a change, that shift our world view- these are the things that stick.
It’s the good stuff. And when it makes that kind of impact on us, we don’t have to worry about retention.
