Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I take notes once and then never look at them again until I’m cramming the night before
• I learn something and feel like I’ve got it, then never look at it again until I suddenly need it
• I never know when to come back to something
• When I sit down to review, all I do is read my notes over and over, and they feel familiar so I assume I know them
• The moment I finish the last page I snap the book shut and move on, feeling done
