When I was young, almost everyone who I
came across would give me tips as to how to study better. Much as I disliked
listening to every individual’s version of ‘How to Score 95% easily’, I was
surprised to notice that almost everyone had one point in common. They all
unanimously advocated the habit of writing down points while studying. They
added that it would help the brain retain information better if it was put in
writing.
Easier said than done like most other
things, I tried as much to implement it and include it as and when I was
studying. But apart from Maths and later certain derivations in Physics and
Organic Chemistry it wasn’t entirely possible to write everything down. The
theoretical papers for instance. You had volumes of information to be
assimilated and writing them down would probably have helped me cover just a
few topics but not all of them. So keeping in mind the big picture, I never
took to this habit seriously except for certain papers.
