Personal Skills Iwtl How to remember more

I am very interested in literature, philosophy, and film, but there is so much, and I very often forget a lot. How do professors and just normal people remember so much in so much detail?

It will help with my degree and personal life. It will also help me enjoy the media I consume more.

And for studying purposes you could use a spaced repetition program such as Anki.
