Just doing all the training reminds me that my memory is not perfect.

So get into the habit of making notes.

Not only are they a record but your brain has to process the information in order for you to make the notes. This will ensure your understanding is improved and will strengthen your power of retention!

As an artist I usually have a small sketch pad with me to make quick notes or sketches of new creative ideas or reference pictures (e.g. how someone is standing). I've experienced lots of marketing ideas popping into mind throughout the day - I think my sketch pad will be joined by a Marketing Note Book very soon. My brain overheats trying to remember them and it's frustrating knowing you had a great idea ... just can't remember what!

so -- Don't over stretch your brain - Write it down! (or draw it)
