I put a lot of thought into where I map things. If I make sure it’s in line with my long term plan, then I never have to move it. I get the rarely-used mappings memorized eventually.

As you helpfully state in your reply, that is not a nbd worth of effort. (Baseline effort being hunt-and-peck on dedicated keys)
I see what you’re saying. What I meant is that I don’t actively work to memorize mappings. An initial effort/push when convenient to intelligently create the mapping is all that’s required. From there it happens naturally.

I was clarifying that the greatest hindrance to this process is changing your mappings (I get so confused if I ever try to move a custom mapping). I put in a little effort up front to make sure I don’t have to change the mapping.
