A lot of memory is pattern recognition, after you've practiced mating patterns a few times they start to sink in. Openings and end games I think it's best to learn through playing and analysing your own games while using a openings or endings book for support. Don't worry too much about memorising positions or moves, aim for understanding the themes behind it and you'll be fine in any situation :-)

I was thinking of it like we prepare for competitive exams. We make notes with refined content from many different books, note down important formulae, important questions whose ideas can be applied to alot of problems. Similarly, we can note down one's own opening repertoire and tactics problem. I am a kind of person who tends to forget alot. Keeping a notes will help me to brush up time to time. Based on your experience, can you suggest me a good way to do so?

Chess is an art dear friend. Learning cooking recipes does not work. The key to life is not to memorize things but to understand the underlying logic. Chess is like math, learning formulas will not get you far, understanding the basics that will allow you to create your own formulas real-time will.

That's an interesting idea. I've never thought of making notes on chess in that way though, so can't give you much advice on how to do it. That said, if you feel it would work for you, go for it! Maybe start with notes on your main openings as you'll get high yield from them.
Good luck, and let us know how it works :-)
What is the best way to prepare notes for chess like opening repertoire, mating patterns, or standard endgames? How do chess players remember so much stuff?
