How I take notes ft. Active Recall and Spaced Repetition

I started to take notes a couple of months ago and i really felt awesome. I'm like i should have started earlier, but i thought "Better late than never". I use Notion for most of my notes and i really like it.

My Note Taking Process

πŸ“– First, I start by reading an entire topic or a sub-topic and i'll finish it when i finally understand it.
✍🏻 Now, i'll write exactly what i understood ( πŸ’‘ A small tip here : Don't copy paste the notes, try to write on your own)
πŸ“‹ I'll review everything -- what i wrote vs what i read and finally complete the notes.

Now comes the fun and actual part.

πŸ“ƒ I'll write the summary of the notes by briefing everything.
🎯Now I'll write the questions to ask my-self because this will help me to recall the things
πŸ€” Finally if there are the things that i need a lot and constantly remember them, i use Spaced Repetition Technique to achieve this.

πŸ—’οΈ Here is the sample document of mine looks like.I would like to know more about your way of note-taking.

    Cool way Mohan.
    My way applies a mix of Feynman Technique and First Principles thinking.
    Liked your way of testing by asking deeper questions
