Notes aren’t useful in of themselves unless you actually plan on testing yourself to actually ingrain that knowledge.
You don’t need to write down everything u want to remember, just enough to jog your memory to cause yourself to recall the information. The act of struggling to remember something is actually what sets it into your memory - if you just write everything down verbatim your brain won’t try very hard to remember it since the words are there for it to see
