How to make crisp notes for psir.. I had made earlier and later ended up writing the whole thing which again has become bulky.. it's like everything seems important to me. Should I segregate things like - quotes of thinkers in one place, keywords in another, critics in one..
Please suggest 🙏
I would suggest mind maps with just the keywords, quotes and critics views etc. This is my mind map on Plato.
I plan on making these even shorter after maybe like two or three revisions. Also, these are missing a few other points like Plato and fascism, Karl Popper's criticism etc. and some quotes on Plato which I haven't updated to these yet (my laziness has nothing to do with this at all :P)
Thanks I ll give it a try.. 👍

Hey. It really helped me to think of my notes in levels.
Level 1: I made notes from all books except SR notes. Never went back to those books again.
Level 2: Made notes combining level 1 notes and SR notes. Enough detail that I could just revise from these. Arranged according to syllabus list. Revised multiple times.
(Did this is mindmaps for 1A, and handwritten for others for lack of time. If you have time to make mindmaps, please do it! It really helped me remember things. In the exam I could visualise my mindmap for 1A and navigate it inside my head. Mindmaps rule.)
Level 3: A few days before the exam, I scribbled keywords, scholars, book titles etc. Just a random collection of words that wouldn’t make sense to anyone else. This is best done at the point where you just need to see the keyword to recall everything related to it.
In the 5 day gap between GS and mains, I gave 4 days to revising my level 2 notes. On the 5th day and on the exam day, I revised level 3 notes a few times. I think it really helped recall things quickly in the exam.

Level 3 Gramsci
