10 Habits of Highly Effective Note Takers

,

You've likely taken notes from meetings, podcasts, books, or courses, only to find them disorganized and incomprehensible or worse, impossible to find them when you need them most

You might even capture notes in a note taking app, tag and categorize them, but feel like you're just collecting information because people have said you should.

This can make a note-taking app feel more like a burden than a useful tool, yet another thing to manage, a digital closet, or as one of the students in our Maximize Your Output Program put it, "a black hole where ideas go to die."

Everyone takes notes because information is the essential building block for everything we do. Whether you're organizing a party or managing work responsibilities, good note-taking is crucial for transforming chaos into clarity.

Effective note-takers do many of the same things you already do, but with subtle differences and additional habits that make their notes 1000x more useful. They capture and organize their notes in a way that transforms them into valuable knowledge assets, serving as building blocks for generating new ideas, completing important projects, and achieving their goals.
