Learn to derive ideas from axioms, don't just memorize things for the sake of it.

Learn to do it everyday. Learn to do it fast. You'll reap rewards. For example, like identifying root causes and implementing solutions for it.

What you're asking is a bottom-up approach and I'm not sure if it can help you in this context. What you may get in return is a bunch of theoretical concepts that may or may be relevant to your case.

Try to find answer using top-down questioning. Perhaps ask questions to the party that gave you this feedback (Ask yourself first), Was I too slow? Did I miss out on an important context? What other specific thing was noticed?

I've tried Notion Databases. It's great to see history of projects. Notion feels clunky nowadays but ok.

For simple, lightweight, fast organisation, I'd recommend maintaining a single file as a todo list.

A file per project. This can be markdown (todo.md) with checkboxes or just a simple todo.txt

This helps you add/edit stuff to the list rather quickly.

This is no answer. Just do things.

Sports and Exercises that require 'form' keeps you alert.

On the flip side, try reading books.

Moreover, summarize each chapter in your own words to truly "lock in".

I'd like to know why Metabase wasn't fitting your use case if you don't mind.
