How do you retain useful content?

Hii, recently I have been procrastinating a lot while trying to educate myself about personal finance and other personal growth related content.

After a bit of introspection I came to a few conclusions on why I am procrastinating.

The number one reason that came to my mind is that i tend to forget whatever "non-entertainment" stuff I watch on YouTube so what's the point of watching it so I avoid it.

I have tried pen paper notes but i rarely open them again.

I want to know how you remember all those useful articles, videos , podcasts, Twitter posts, grapevine answers that you come across online ?

I have seen people listening to podcasts while travelling to work, if you are one of them then how do you retain the information?

Best learning is through practice

I put that knowledge to use ASAP because I know I'll forget or procrastinate later. Or i share it with my team/friends/family so they can utilise it.

Financial knowledge is I think more of a long term game and at least takes 2-3 months to apply what we read or listen

Read. Books.

Also focused reading/listening. Only pick a "mindless" activity along with it (e.g. walking/cleaning), so you can pay more attention towards the content.

There are scientific methods on how to store something in long term memory. Just like how u get asked to retype ur password or pin every once in a whileโ€ฆ That once in a while has been defined, search for it and do that

Podcast

Do you guys listen to podcasts? So many people talk about great revolutionising podcasts but I can't seem to start off even one.

How do you listen to it? Sit there are nodding your head to people talking? Why do I feel I'm not being pro...
