Making short notes

Kind of short notes which I had made:

1. Facts/data/Rankings: useful everywhere (from model answers, Mains 365 etc)

2. Graphs and Maps- graphs are useful in Economy, maps for DM/Geo/IR. (Can refer Geo NCERTs)

3. Constitutional Articles
4. Important Judgements
5. Niti Aayog Recommendations
6. ARC 2 recommendation
7. Important Committees- around 20-25 committees

8. Examples- to be quoted in Ethics and Essays (from newspapers, Mann ki Baat, Google)
9. Essay: Introduction, Conclusion, Quotes etc (from Yojna, Toppers mock test copies, Topper notes)

10. Make short notes of S&T, Internal Security and IR - from test series model answers (20 questions for each) and Mains 365 (for IR)

In addition, if you are reading from bulky material like Economics Mains 365, Society Mains 365 or any other sources- make short notes

I used to make short notes usually in last 30-40 days only. For reference, one can go through my short notes which I had uploaded earlier.

While it may seem that making short notes would eat up your important time, but it is actually not so. Input output is one of the highest, it greatly improve your recall memory.

Refer toppers short notes and one can also directly use them and add into it. (But it is important to write it again on paper in your own handwriting)

Be very selective while making short notes, include only those things which are very important, directly linked to syllabus and which can be used broadly.

Best wishes !!
