I have not yet tried this yet but according to its users zettelkasten note taking method helps with remembering what you read.
Book How to Take Smart Notes by Sohnke Ahrens goes trough the method and reasoning behind it.
You also find info about it on youtube and some forums.
Some youtube videos are not very good and if you just follow them, you will fail because they do not explain idea well. I would use those only to get high level idea how this method works and then read book by Ahrens.
It is mostly known in social science circles but it is slowly getting known better by others.
Memory champions use techniques called mnemonics. These are just different ways to encode information in different ways to help recalling it later. Most popular methods are some variations of "method of loci".
Method of loci works by first choosing some place you know well or building imaginary one. This place is called memory palace. Then you put things you need to remember in different points on path in your memory palace.
When you put something in some point on your path, you don't just put cheese, french loaf, bottle of coke etc. there. You must make something easy to remember out of each piece of information.
For example you could imagine your father squeezing cheese out of hes ass on to your billow while squatting on your night table. Adding some detail helps with recollection. Like color of shit stuck inside holes of cheese and how some of it is slowly running out holes of cheese.
To help you remember to buy coke. You could imagine your coke pee bottles next to your basements stairs that are fallen down and your mother is crying and shouting to you while standing on puddle of your pee with pee soaked socks.
Use what ever comes to your mind first.
