Anybody else have a wall like this in their workspace or is it just me? I've got bad memory for config strings haha!

Only list I've had that I wasn't able to memorize, was a Vim cheatsheet, when I was still learning it.. :)

I find that actual paper is better for the memory since you have a visual component that doesn't change to hook into the memory. Handwritten is even better since you include the motor skills as well. I tend to summarize stuff by hand in the margin when learning.

I have   on my whiteboard, I could not remember   for the longest time but I remember it now.

Nice idea, currently I use a small book for my things, but your approach is far better
