I’m going through the Colored Stones course and I’m starting to run into the scholarly articles that are linked to the course. I’m going to read them of course, but how closely should I be retaining information on them? For example I’m reading the Vietnamese Peridot article and I’m keeping tabs on general peridot facts, but do I need to keep tabs on every specific element content difference between sources for tests? I find I’m spending an obscene amount of time taking notes and determining what is pertinent information. Thanks!
