The Power of Paraphrasing

Research shows that the higher your word count in your notes, the worse your outcome is likely to be. So if you paraphrase it, that's better. But there's levels beyond that, right? You could not just paraphrase a single idea. You could paraphrase a group of ideas. And then display and express how that group of ideas relates with another group of ideas nonlinearly. The real art is how can you get what you need to in as little amount of work as possible. This is kind of like taking that map and saying, okay, now I can see that there are roads and pathways and there are actual well connected areas.
