Memory consolidation requires active repetition and connection to existing knowledge — it doesn't happen automatically. Be intentional about simple knowledge retention habits:
  • After any learning experience spend five minutes writing down the three ideas that most resonated with you.
  • Review those notes one week later.
  • Share one insight with someone else within 24 hours.
