This seems similar to the method used by Robert Greene (and Ryan Holiday who learned it from him, and many others.) I just started using it (as in: I bought notecards and a box to store them.)

This would be a good overview of the method: https://billyoppenheimer.com/notecard-system/

And Umberto Eco wrote a book on this model before Greene. "How to Write a Thesis"
