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 while… That once in a while has been defined, search for it and do that
Take notes and read them every now and them
This has been happening for quite sometime - I have posts/reels 🧾 on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Chrome bookmarks 📌 with the hope of going thru them sometime. However, next day new content comes, save them again, and never open them...

Has anyone taken consious steps to fix this? Or are you are mindlessely scrolling as well? Do share your experiences.
I spend a sad amount of time mindlessly going through Instagram. Want to cut down, and replace with better apps, that actually make my time better spent. Curious which apps you all use that make you feel better after you use them?
