I draw stupid diagrams and rough notes that I never read again, they just help while I'm making sense of stuff. It's the mechanistic motion of using a pencil (or an Apple Pencil) that helps more than anything.

I used to take notes at school, but hardly ever read them again, it was the act of taking notes that helped me make sense of stuff and remember it.
