Jiminy CHRISTMAS, this. I can't count the number of times I've tried to hold the name of someone in my head at FC 2020 only to have it flee as soon as I walk out of the room. It's SO frustrating.

@jakebe I've been trying to kickstart a habit of writing down anything I'm likely to want to reference later... by doing this for a tabletop RP in which my character should definitely remember a lot of stuff.

I can't always keep up when writing or typing, but it still means a lot more sinks into deeper memory, especially when I rewrite those notes into a denser but more searchable form. I'm trying to start pulling the habit into my non-RP life!
