Hey Fastlaners! So 1 problem I notice for myself is that I read a lot of books spanning all areas of business and self-improvement, and I learn a TON and they always blow my mind. However, when it comes time to apply them in the future, I forget a lot of the helpful tips that would have come in handy during that specific situation.

Is this a problem yall face at all? How do you approach getting a deeper understanding or even mastery so you can apply the important lessons that you've read before when the time is opportunistic?
