"Better note-taking" misses the point; what matters is "better thinking"

I take notes for two main reasons. First, to improve memory—research shows that handwritten notes aid in memory, learning, and retention. Second, notes serve as a helpful guide for tasks I don’t frequently perform.

I find note taking to be extremely effective for me—perhaps because of that primary goal of memory. My own note taking results in fair amount of longer form writing.

I recently started a blog / digital garden dedicated to note taking. You can read more about my note taking strategy below.
