I use this strategy too. Writing helps to memorize better and restore the forgotten faster by reviewing bullet points. If I deal with concepts which are hard for me to memorize or understand, I do some strange random messing around that info: reading it loudly (even singing), drawing schemes or impressions from a concept, associate it with something like color, song, place, sound, smell, food, person, etc, or connect it in some other way to strong emotional experiences. It helps to remember both emotionally and intellectually. Impressions are way easier to recall.
