Reframe Forgetting as a Normal Part of Learning
You study something, forget it a week later, and conclude you're hopeless. This reframes forgetting as part of how memory works: the forgetting curve in plain terms, why forgetting then retrieving is exactly what builds lasting memory, and how to use that instead of fighting it. For when you feel like everything you learn leaks straight back out.
