> Memory is a muscle that needs to be exercised

It's all said there.


Writing helps a lot. That's why I'm such a big fan of Personal Knowledge Management

I published many articles on this topic: https://dsebastien.net


Upshot: Write by hand and use memory palaces.


I'm thinking about trying obsidian because memory palaces are not practical for me. Anyone with aphantasia out there or have advice if imagery doesn't work?
