Take Notes Like an Alpha-Geek

TrackBack URL

It starts with the tag line " take notes like some people take drugs."...hehe :)

Well, I needed something linke dis..... so... summarising.....

Why:

Simple but effective note taking enables me to:

-Review book highlights in less than 10 minutes

-Connect scattered notes on a single theme in 10 minutes that would otherwise require dozens of hours

-Contact and connect mentors with relevant questions and help I can offer

-Impose structure on information for increased retention and recall

How:

  1. Create an indexing system
    1. Brainstorming blog post topics and paginating on the right-hand pages
ahhh! dat I always do..... No life w/o brainstorming sessions..... but thinkig n writing @ d same time... ;)

The page numbers in the index do NOT need to be in order, as you’ll be scanning for content, then referring to the page. If you write on the same topic again, simply put that page number next to the previous index entry.
      1. Creating an index like this for non-fiction books I read allows me to refer back and review key concepts in 5-10 minutes without rereading the entire book and searching for underlined sections.

      2. Choose the Proper Pad for the Job

Seems vague....? Nah! try it... jotting down all stuff in one notebook.... doesnt help... I've tried it... both paper/ soft copies.... although m more comfy with "soft notes" now...

My input:

3.
Write down in d form of figures...
Use all kinda diagrams, flowcharts, fish -bone diagrams etc etc etc... it will help you retain the info and recall it too at a later date.

They say - photographic memory is d best... Aw yeah! :)
