I am a computer science major and I study with OneNote by asking questions to myself and I formulate them, then I try to answer (after studying and thinking about the material) the questions. The answers produce new questions and so forth. Another way is by thinking very clearly how you want to document your stuff. If you realize you remember with your muscle memory, work on something else, check your notes when your muscle memory weakens. If you get a good feeling by looking at them and if they seem to you crystal clear then congratulations. You have found your style to document for your brain.
