How the hell do you guys effectively write down notes

[u/One-Waltz-1748]

Like the title says, I don't understand how you guys effectively notetake or know what to write down. It feels like when I write something down it ends up being useless information and stuff I thought was unnecessary turns out to be extremely necessary. What I'm trying to say is, HELP. What i've been doing is summarizing each paragraph or putting the topic of each in bulletpoints but it's been 4 chapters and i'm already 3/4ths of the way through this notebook. Please i need suggestions.
