Sigils For Dummies, a little confused Options

I'm not sure it I am in the right place but, I have been studying traditional witchcraft for about a year and a half now. Its working out fine but I thought--is this really the path I should be on? So I am looking around now and came across, Intro to High Magic, Frater AD.
I have been reading on simple word sigils and I'm ok with making it and charging it. Its the forgetting part that's a problem. Do I need to forget the sigil itself or the reason I made it in the first place. If the later that's too bad since I can't forget something I think about constantly. Maybe I just don't get it, can someone explain?

I've only just begun working with Magick, Chaos Magick in particular, and this bothered me too. However I find that working with Magick each day, or multiple times a day, makes this much easier. This is for the simple reason that the more you do, the less of it you remember, and so the more that can work in the background without the interruption caused by you thinking "Hmm is my Magick working yet? Why not!?"

Another trick that's worked for me is to make rather long specific aims for the sigil, for example, rather than: "I will get a job", your intent could be something like "I will get a job in the IT industry repairing computers for a large company earning a good regular wage and working short hours each day" - the longer and more specific the aim the better. The reason for this is that while you might not forget it, chances are you won't remember it word for word.
