Health information needs its source, context and publication date. Clear notes distinguish explanations from questions that remain open.
Keep the source name, reading date and unanswered questions in a notebook; separate reference notes from personal impressions. Record the source or specific situation alongside your notes so the reasoning remains clear when you revisit them.
Finish with three notes: what is clear, what is unresolved and which source to check next. General information does not assess an individual situation.
