Yesterday.

Writing any kind of information is a good memorization aid. Writing requires your brain to consider the information carefully, translate the information into meaningful scribbles, and transfer the scribbles onto paper.

Peruse any of these articles about handwriting as a memorization aid.

I knew that but I did not know that - if that makes any sense. I've frequently made it a point to write things down that I want to remember. It isn't that I will find the bit of paper later on - it is that I wrote it down and remember it because I wrote it down. It has been one of my key memorization aids since... Wow... Err... Since the mid 1960s. I was pretty young when I learned this about myself. I'd never actually looked to see if studies had been done or anything. I kind of figured everyone did it.
