The easiest way is to develop your own mental organization scheme. Organize by subjects I find to be the best. Also using the technique known as mental mapping is quite useful. It allows you to see how various pieces of information relate to each other. You might also examine the species - genus breakdown used in logic.
Good suggestion! And, of course, memorising the Shorter Catechism provides a kind of filing scheme for your thoughts.
