bullet-pointing
Creating bulleted lists
Bullet-pointing is the practice of organizing information into short, discrete items marked with dots or other symbols.
It suggests breaking complex material into digestible chunks: I spent the morning bullet-pointing the key findings for the presentation.
The term often carries a slight dismissiveness, implying oversimplification of nuanced topics.
