Well, writing down passwords for a little while until you memorize it is good.  Writing it down and keeping it around changes it from something you know, to something you have.  You might as well write down a 256-bit random key, if you're not going to memorize it.

Generate random words and memorize them.  Maximizes strength and memorizability.  Only takes 11 words to have cryptographic strength of 121.  Everybody is capable of memorizing eleven words.
