I've also been asking long form questions, including links to my research sources (especially our internal documentation), explaining my reasons for making certain assumptions, etc.

This helps future me easily find answers to the same questions when I end up having them again, and can eventually serve as documentation when even newer people come into the company.

I've also been taking exquisite notes (online, so searchable), including the same type of long-form links so that even if I have to leave a task for a month, future me can come back to it and pick up the thread immediately.

Taking these notes does slow me down a bit in the short run but I find it is invaluable in the long run.
