I keep a "cheatsheets" folder on my desktop full of markdown files on various subjects. I know that physically wrotong things down is better for retention, but the tradeoff in favor of editability and organization works very well for me.
That was exactly what I was going for. I wanted something that I could edit and that would be as organized as possible. I got it, but I wasn't retaining anything. Maybe I could start physically typing out my notes instead.
I encourage you to try and see if it works out for you, its much better to organize it and for me is pretty good to retain the information too. But you need to type it the same way you would write with pen and paper
Yeah, you definitely have the right idea in NOT copy-pasting, I always try to paraphrase things as much as possible to force me to think about the concept more.

Yep! Paraphrasing is key because I don't have time to write down every little word LOL!
