Man, that's a great question. So, for me, I really rely on audiobooks a lot. I find that I retain information way better when I'm listening. It's kind of like my brain just locks into it, you know? I might have ADD or something because when I’m reading, my mind can wander off, and I’ll just have to backtrack a bunch. It’s like, “Come on, Joe, focus!”

And I’ve noticed I have this thing where I have terrible memory for names, but my recall is solid when it comes to topics I’m passionate about. Like, if I care about it, it’s right there at my fingertips. I always say, "I've got a convenient memory." If it’s uninteresting, it just gets tossed out.

I also try to jot down notes or taglines that are important, kind of like a mental organization system. It’s like you’re a squirrel remembering where to stash your nuts—your brain has to map things out! Ultimately, by engaging with stuff I love, I’m building this mental library that keeps expanding. It’s a discipline, man.

So, keep your mind open, find what clicks for you, and just keep loading that brain with good stuff!
