I use a program called "Lil Red Notebook" (LRN) it is very inexpensive, with a free trial. When you have to look something up, you need to make a note of it someplace, so if you don't remember it later it will be faster than looking it up all over again. I started using my LRN when I was an MT student over 5 years ago, and I still use it daily. It is much faster to look things up there, instead of starting from scratch. You can also put the definition of things in there to help you, such as the difference between "advise" and "advice" if you have trouble remembering. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by using "macros" - do you have an expander? That is definitely something you need, either ShortHand or Instant Text would be of huge benefit.
