Why You Should Be Taking Notes
The main advantage you would get from writing more effective notes
You need to start taking notes on yourself, capture the knowledge you consume, the insights you digest, and the thoughts you generate. This isn't about productivity; it's about building a sustainable system for intellectual growth.
Most people maintain minimal notes, typically writing down things in a notebook, never to be seen again. These physical notes become inaccessible piles of information.
The main advantage of structured note-taking is in our search capabilities getting better over our own knowledge. Think of it as creating a personal file system for your mind, one that's actually searchable and accessible. Especially if you find yourself needing to recall that one fact from a lecture or a paper that u read and can’t remember it. In these cases, having all that information in a single place is a life-saver.
