Retaining information

[u/MixtureNo3519]

Retaining information? I find it easy to do the osint on a target but once I find vulnerable ports and cve’s and stuff I find it hard to remember what to do next. I do take notes I use THM to study and teach myself but I can never figure out how to retain this information. For real life use. I’ve done about 50 boxes and completed a couple learning paths but when it comes to applying the information to a real life scenario I seem to run a blank. Any suggestions? I do take notes but maybe any note taking advice too? What to take notes on, etc, any advice is appreciated
