How do I take short, effective notes? I have a mental problem

Do bullet points and sub bullet points, it maintains order while allowing you to go into deeper detail and tangents.

Good note-taking involves a lot of self-awareness, so you'll probably have to adapt multiple strategies. These are what worked for me in uni:

For short notes in general, write down only key terms, concepts, and equations--no descriptions--and leave space. Spend the rest of your time listening to the lecture. After class, fill in what you remember and--having the key terms--you should be able to read textbooks/online content to fill in the gaps.

Otherwise, wait until after the first exam/test to develop a main strategy. Find out if your professor tends to ask skill-based questions or for regurgitated knowledge. Take notes only on the shit you anticipate being tested on. If a short answer works on your test, you know it is wasteful to take long notes on ideas.
