I appreciate this post from Tiago Forte about taking “smart” notes. It’s a deep post rather than a list of quick tips, so there’s a lot to chew on.
As I continue to absorb it, here are two points that stand out: “Our tools and techniques are only as valuable as the workflow” and “Writing is not the outcome of thinking; it is the medium in which thinking takes place.” ✍️
Also if you aren’t familiar with the Cornell Notes system, that might be worth a look as well.
