How do you create good study notes

I stuck a bunch of Medea quotes all around the house when I did it at the start of this year and I'm still finding quotes in random places when I least expect it. I'd say that it's a nice surprise but I hated Medea so much I can't even. In addition to that, got Legal notes scattered everywhere and bits and pieces from my other subjects that I've stuck onto the walls of my study, bedroom, living room, dining room and my brothers' and parents' bedroom doors. I've even got some random idea I wanted to use for some Literature essay scribbled in lipstick on my bathroom mirror...
There's a system to my madness tho, I promise.
At this stage, I think the only place that hasn't been covered at some point with notes is the ceiling and that's cuz our ceilings are too high and I'm too short... :(

^^^This one though ^^^ If there's ever a paper shortage at least I'll know where to find some now :p

Different strokes for different folks. If you do write your notes by single dot points, it is important that you show how this dot point links to other dot points (which may even be in different topics!) Often in HSC / trials now the bigger mark questions encompass more than one dot point, so you must show how things link. (I believe this is what the extended response question is trying to test you on)

The syllabus is your best friend! My advice (It honestly depends on the subject) But flashcards are great for sciences, and summary notes are great if you do them by the syllabus. Then start doing practice questions and papers. Also don't forget to make them personalised, so use acronyms or something to help you remember important key terms :)

using colour is helpful :P

I have a kinda silly question to ask, but is it alright to make 5 copies of notes on one module of either phys or chem (i.e. since there are 4 modules in physics and 4 modules in chemistry, I'm probably going to have 40 sets of notes altogether)
I'll explain, 1 set of notes is an indepth set of notes used to cover every single dotpoint to the level of depth required-for more understanding, one set of notes is a "summary notes" a shortened set of notes, one set of notes will be a "weaknesses notes" used for pinpointing my weaknesses, one set of notes will be for "concept maps/linking" for linking concepts together so then it's easier to draw links between certain concepts and answer those extended reponse questions and my final set of notes will be "extended response notes" where I will be making up certain extended reponse questions with a marking criteria and will be writing up responses in order to get more marks for the extended reponse questions
WHat does everyone think of this? Yes I know it's a lot and a little bit crazy but I think I will benefit from this, rewriting my notes 5 times in one module, 40 times throughout the year
