    Put your notes in OneNote, and divide them into 4 or 5 high-level categories (1000,2000,3000, etc). Then split those thousand groups into hundreds groups, tens groups, etc. Something magic happens to your brain when you start using numbers to group things. Not sure what it is, but overtime you’ll find yourself using the number and not even saying the title anymore. Also having dedicated buckets for things relieves a tremendous amount of anxiety. It takes a while to build and it’s incredibly an unintuitive thing to build out, but it really helps. Check out schemes and the top level pages on wikipedia, or maybe various classification systems.

    So for example btw:

    1000 - Liberal Arts

      1100 - Philosophy
    
      1200 - Law
    
    2000 - Natural Science

      2100 - Chemistry
    
    3000 - Applied Science

      3100 - Agriculture
    
      3200 - Engineering
    
        3210 - Mechanical Engineering
