# Note-Taking
|
|
|
|
## 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.

## TALK
|
|
|
|
This note is intended for
|
|
|
|
* why one should want to take notes,
|
|
* what good notes should do
|
|
|
|
There are bad media for note-taking
|
|
|
|
* print

|
|
|
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.
