VISUAL NOTE-TAKERS SEE THE SIGNAL & CLEAR THE NOISE.

You know we live in a culture that loooooves to talk. This means there’s a strong chance that throughout your life–at work or at school–you’ll need to know how to take notes effectively. Studying to ace a test. Tracking action items in a team meeting. Listening for a new angle on an old story. You’ll be expected to find meaning in the midst of much chatter.

These days, most of us try to wrangle information by taking notes on a laptop. But research consistently shows that rapid typing is ineffective for understanding, engaging with or remembering content. In a word: Fooey. Taking notes with our hands and our mind’s eye trumps typing every time.
