I used to love studying, especially taking notes when I was younger. Over time, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of material I had to study. Thus, I forgot the joy I once felt when taking notes; efficiency became more of my priority, yet no matter how much I studied, nothing would stick. I realized that note-taking (and quizzes) was one of the ways I personally get my mind to work. Sure, it isn't efficient and I might not always have the energy to write them. However, the moment someone approaches me and asks, "Ali, Do you have notes on this subject?", I feel the desire to create them for the sake of sharing. Perhaps, this desire or ego is fueling me. I'm no longer creating just for myself; I've started to want them to be "good enough" for someone else.
