I understand the majority of users who know CSS know all the concepts, properties,rules and parameters like the back of their hands. For newer designers, like myself, it is challenging to remember certain functions... My question: What are some of the best methods you use in order to retain CSS knowledge and recall them in your personal/work applications?

I found it good to make my own cheat sheet researching each property on the W3C and adding it to my sheet in excel with hyperlinks to each property, after i had completed I no longer needed it.
So i would say if you learn like me by reading something then writing it in my terms then maybe this would be an exercise. I am off for the night now but can send you mine via dropbox to have a see what i mean.
