Creating Personal Significance: Notes are most valuable when they are meaningful to the learner, phrased in their own words, and tied to personal understanding.

Ease of Use: Notes should be clear, organised, and easily accessible for later review, reducing the need to reinterpret or decipher.

Activity:
Review a previous set of notes. Rephrase the information in your own words and add personal reflections or connections. Notice if the material feels easier to understand and retain after personalisation.
