Read "Moonwalking with Einstein" then memorize anything you want to memorize. And it is okay to fail. Because it kind of does not matter.

I like memorizing jira ticket numbers while they matter and then forget them once they don't.

Seems like a silly thing to memorize but it's not.

My criteria for what matters enough to memorize is that it is something that empowers YOU TODAY so YOU do more of what you want with less distracting interruption.

Go for it. And then happily forget these things because you can always look them up anyways.

There is no must.
