Be More Effective, Take Better Notes

Whether it be gathering requirements for a project or just accurately recording the events of a staff meeting . One of the easiest ways of increasing our effectiveness is to take high quality notes. And there is no shortage of guides available on how you can do just that. But one of the better guides I have found is available on the Lifehack.org website called Advice for Students: Taking Notes that Work.

Follow their advice and you'll find that your taking far more effective notes than you ever have before, better notes means your more effective, and the more effective you are the more valuable you are to your team.

A couple of tips from the article to remember, Only write down what is new to you, (if you know it don't spend your time writing it down) and only write down what you think is relevant (if it not relevant don't spend your time writing it down). And here is one from me, spend the $50 and by a good voice recorder and record it just in case you need to go back later, sort of an emergency backup, you may never need it, but if you do you'll have it.
