sorry, the question might have been poorly worded. I just didn't want to use the word "notes" to not bias the answers. I was referring to the process of learning, when you start with a new topic, you learn a lot of things, of which we retain the most important and abstract concepts. But sometimes it helps to write it down, make some notes to come back to, etc... In a way that you can easily get back to follow your footsteps
