The Art of Note Taking


Writing notes skillfully is the only thing that really matters.

Your notes are the place where you do your deepest and best thinking.

Be a "note maker" not a "note taker".

• Dont copy and paste
• Convert information into your own knowledge assets
• Cultivate and refine

Write in your own words: this should feel hard/challenging

Difficulties signal that you need to go deeper into the subject.

WRITE YOU NOTES IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!

• JA: should I do this with book notes ?

Curate dont collect!

Note development is like meditation or exercise.

See your note making as a craft…Refine dont rush.
