If I am adding a note to what I've taken notes on before (say antifragility or mimesis), I'll definitely review what I wrote previously just so I don't duplicate the same content. I don't broadly review my notes, only specifically sometimes if I want to consult my previous thoughts on a topic. Agreed that the main benefit is in writing down the note to begin with - this forces me to reflect on it, structure it, categorize it and formalize it.
