How to Take Better Notes

You’re Taking Notes the WRONG Way — Here’s Why

A Simple (And Valuable) Lesson That Can Change the Way You’re Taking notes… Forever!

If you’re a knowledge worker, content creator, entrepreneur or just a lifelong learner you’re probably already taking notes.

Hopefully, every day.

Notes from the content you consume,
the interesting things you stumble across,
or simply for the sake of not losing your sparking insights.

You may use a popular app like Evernote, Bear, Google Keep, OneNote, or anything in between.

And that’s cool.

Because taking notes is not only essential to save and retrieve information.

(Our brains are pretty bad at remembering the details of everything we encounter — Did you remember which and how many apps I just mentioned?).

Nope.

Taking notes is also important because it frees up mental bandwidth.

Why?

Because unfinished tasks create “open loops”, running the task in the background of our mind.
