I've decided that the main thing I'm building is my own mental model. You can take notes, create docs, put graphs and websites together, but unless I'm just trying to generate some reference material the only real objective is to develop the understanding and intuitions inside my own brain.
So I have the LLM offer a very short explanation of something, and from there's it's just me asking questions. Anything that feels fuzzy or not fully internalized is something I poke at until I'm satisfied.
It really has helped me develop a sensitivity to what I understand vs what I don't, and the ability to drill into any part of it is amazing.
