While you are studying or doing research on a specific subject, the first thing you do is to make a neat outline of various topics that you need to cover for study. Next, you will classify the contents under each topic. During this process you create sub-topics and further drill down in to the contents to add headlines, bullet points, text, pictures etc., This way of organized study helps you to get the overall picture of the content clearly. It even helps you to remember concepts well. You also take note of interesting concepts, ideas from what you see, hear and learn in the process and add them to the outlined content.
