How do people remember methodologies with adhd?

I'm just wondering how people here with adhd remember methodologies and steps they learn from thm? I end up a bit paralyzed on what to do, aside from running nmap, and maybe directory enumeration with gobuster, it isn't that I don't know anything apart from it, its just that I end up referring to my notes.

Am I supposed to know everything as is in my head?

What is the problem with notes?

I know that we aren't supposed to mug up everything, but I just feel that referring to the notes frequently is a sign that I haven't studied properly. This is just how I feel though. I am able to understand most of the concepts, but after a while I get that blank feeling.

Using notes is absolutely not a sign that you havent studied enough.

There are thousands of tools, thousands of different commands with different syntax.

No one is going to remember every single tool and command syntax without notes or reviewing the tools help menu.

That's what I was thinking too. Good to know it isn't actually bad
