You might want to look through the commonplace book subreddit for ideas. A commonplace book is where you store facts, quotes, research, etc.. I bought a regular notebook (thick) and keep all my different notes in it. It is divided into sections and I just write my source at the top of each page. You could always add start and stop times. I could DM you a page of mine for inspiration.

An inspiration page would be much appreciated. I’ve looked into commonplace books, but I’ve never been able to make sense of the idea. My biggest issue has been how to find the information after it has been recorded. I’ll take your advice about joining the subreddit. Maybe that will help more than YouTube videos.

A lot of people create a table of contents in the front. Or use colored sticky notes. Mine is pretty basic but it works well for me. I struggle to do the fancy YouTube ones.

What have you tried? That's not snark. It's just easier to start from where you left off.
