  1. Don't Bother taking notes for the first 2 months rather focus on the course or tutorial.
  2. After learning the basics, start building projects and comment on every single line.
  3. Write documentation, basically explaining the purpose of your project (watch other tutorials on how to write documentation in VScode).
  4. Only take notes of those concepts which you use very often and find it difficult to remember them. Thank you, Dorian it really helped a lot :)
