I tend to forget details even after careful reading. Could you share a simple and reliable method?

Need a fast, low-friction note system for math and bio. Works for laptop or paper, and easy to review before quizzes.

I learn fine in lectures, but my notes are chaos and I rarely review them. If you switched from paper to a tablet, did it actually help or just add another thing to charge and fiddle with? Give me the pros and cons from real use, especially around distraction and cost. (I'm not looking for professional advice, just everyday experiences.)

I study a lot, but I forget stuff on tests. I have soccer and chores, so I only have about 30 minutes most nights. I get distracted easy and and long reading makes me zone out. What study methods help me remember more in less time? I can use paper and a phone timer, but not paid apps or tutors. Simple steps I can try today would help.

I read a lot but forget it fast. What simple tricks help me remember textbook chapters?

Skimming and highlighting aren't sticking. What methods help convert reading into long-term recall for exams, and how much time should I budget per chapter? Looking for approaches that work across subjects.
