Active recall

Reading a page again feels like learning. Answering a question about it is learning.

Testing beats rereading

Trying to remember an answer, even when the attempt fails, strengthens the memory more than reading the answer again. The effort is the point.

Turning a note into cards

Take one heading at a time, ask the question it answers, and write the answer on the back of a card. Point the card at the heading, so the answer can be checked against the source.

The note becomes a page anyone can read. Links to public materials stay links; a link to anything private becomes its plain label.
