In my experience with doing something similar, this practice also helps memorize adjacent concepts.
For example, I was recently explaining to myself Hubbard’s technique that uses Student’s t-stat to figure out the 90% CI of a range of possible values of a population using a small sample.
Having little memory of statistics from school, I had to refresh my understanding of variance and the standard deviation, which are required to use the t-stat table. So now, whenever I need to “access” variance or stdev, I mentally “reach” for the t-stat table and pick up variance and stdev.
