Hi,

I'm a sql dev with dba ambitions. I work daily with SQL, and fiddle a lot with SSMS. Trying to figure out query store, query plans, indexes and the whole shabang. Meaning, I watch a lot of youtube like Brent and Baraa, follow some Udemy-courses and even pick up a book every now and then.

But, I find it hard to keep track. Just followed some tutorials on Query tuning. And looking at it, it kinda makes sense. But how to remember it all?

I'm thinking of getting an old school note pad, and write along with the lot. But then again.. there is SOO much to keep track of.
Will I be able to find the things i've written down when I need it? Surely, it will help getting things crammed in my brain, but perhaps other ways?

I've also thought of a .MD file, so it's searchable, links and things. Might be an option as well.

Just curious how you guys keep track of the things you learn.

I'm going on my first moto trip in August. Now gathering stuff, buying packs, Navi, and all other stuff needed/desired.
Going for the North cape. Up through Sweden, down via Finland.

Just worried about the quite low temperatures in the North. Also, I have 8 weeks of vacation, so.. would you bring a small chair? On the one hand.. expensive, quite a lot of space and .. a luxury item for the pampered among us. On the other... I'm not 20 anymore, and 8 weeks sitting on the cold/wet floor while cooking/camping/eating...doesn't sound that appealing.

Have the tent, stove and all other gear quite figured out.. just have to do a shakedown and test packing/space and so how it works in practice.
