Why Take Notes?
Declare Bankruptcy on Your Memory
Some say they take notes to remember now, that by writing the thing down they commit it to memory, and the note itself is ancillary.
That's not me at all. I don't remember writing half of what's in this-notebook. My notes allow me to forget things I know to make room for ideas I'm not decided on.
Properties of Good Notes
Good notes are legible and their meaning is clear. It is not enough to know what you mean now, you must write with clarity sufficient for an outsider to understand, because eventually it will be you.

This note is intended for
- why one should want to take notes,

Opinion, possibly industry dependent: good notes are text-first. It can be difficult to explain certain concepts without visuals and that's all the more reason to try.
