What I have done since my first days of learning 'DOS', is to keep a small notebook at hand & jot down everything I think I might want to use into it. Not the basic stuff, but things like how to configure various services, etc.
Basic commands embed themselves into memory the more you use them. The commandline is very attractive for getting things done, & usually, you have more options than with a graphical program.
Midnight Commander (mc) is one program to get to know, & also 'screen' would be another very useful program.
