I'm just curious as I just usually read the grammar points and don't make any notes on it. Maybe doing do will help with my studies in general thanks in advanced.

I don't have the spreadsheet with me, but what I started doing was one entry for each point, with the schema grammar point/meaning/construction/nuance/examples.  My focus will be on construction and nuance since I already know the general meaning.  I'll load this into anki.  It feels like I am studying all over again since I focused on the example sentences and meaning the first time around.

This will take a while if I have to repeat this for the N2 grammar points like I asked in the above post.

If you are ganna load them into anki, I would instead format them more similar to tradition flashcards. I.e. On the front have questions like the following
-What is the difference between grammar A, B & C
-In which situation would you use grammar point B
-What is the formal equalavant of C

etc or something like that depending on the grammar point.
That way you are focused only on one thing. If there is alot of information its hard to be truthful of what you actually knew and got right, and also hard to recall lots of information.
