Taking notes works your brain, helps your memory, and strengthens understanding.

I learned very quickly in my undergraduate days that the act of physically writing down information was the best way for me personally to retain knowledge.

I’ve got over a decade of work experience now and I have like 100 notebooks filled with notes from nearly every day. I routinely find that my own notes differ from auto written transcripts of meetings. Mostly it’s minor things, but every once in a while the automatic transcription gets something critically wrong.
