Working Smart: Recovering the Lost Art of Note-Taking
Working Smart: Recovering the Lost Art of Note-Taking
Did you think once you were done with college, you’d never have to take notes again?
Think again.
Thomas Nelson Publishers’ president and COO Michael Hyatt presents his case for why and how you should take notes in your current job. He even throws in a plug for Moleskine notebooks, my favorite kind. My large, ruled journal never leaves my side.
I grasp to benefits of note-taking in meetings, but should you be note-taking when having a brief conversation with a co-worker (about work), or when just sitting at your desk? Seems like your employer might not be excited about people using company time for their own self-improvement.

I don’t think Michael Hyatt is suggesting you take notes all the time. He only specifically mentions taking notes during meetings, presumably because meetings can be boring and it’s easy to let your mind wander.
