Effective Note Taking
Have you ever left church or a fascinating speech and said, "That was great!" Then someone asks you, "What was it about?" And your mind goes blank? The reason for that is that our memory mechanisms are imperfect. In fact, we only remember between 12% and 20% of what we hear. We retain only as much as 30% of the things that we see. If we combine hearing with seeing, that level jumps to 50%. Once we add discussion into the hearing and seeing equation, our retention jumps to 70%. We are still going to miss part of it, but we are doing a lot better off. These statistics are precisely why note taking is a skill that must be taken seriously.
By taking notes, you add sight to the hearing of the message being given. That still only leaves you with recalling half of what you were told. While you may feel like you have a terrific memory, you must accept the fact that it is probably not as reliable as you think. Various techniques of note taking can improve your ability to recall the information given to you and give you the advantage over most of America.
Here is one method that is particularly effective.
