Focus and Chill - productivity tactics for AuDHDers and other neurodivergent folks

Welcome to episode #82! Today, it’s just Joey and Jeremy discussing how to manage learning and memory.

With so much information available, how do you decide what’s worth remembering? Joey and Jeremy dive into note-taking strategies, the balance between deep learning and quick recall, and whether it’s worth building personal knowledge systems when AI tools like ChatGPT exist.

They explore different ways to process new information, from mind maps and Anki flashcards to slipboxes and structured review systems. Should you write everything down, or does the best knowledge naturally stick?

Join them for a deep dive into learning, retention, and making information work for you.
