Ohh, I really wish I also had this attitude (YAGNI)!
But do you not believe there is some value in trying to store some of what you found / learnt each day, to allow you to make some new connections in the brain the following days?

Sure, but I retain some of that without having to do anything special. I have no need to remember everything. My brain seems to know better than I do what is worth remembering and what isn't anyway. I trust it.
Retention is even more likely to happen if it's information that I actually used that day, and if it's really valuable information, then I probably have used it immediately.
