Summary

Unlock the cognitive benefits of handwriting without losing the convenience of digital organization. Research consistently demonstrates the cognitive value of writing notes by hand. However, there are important benefits to keeping notes digitally. In this seminar by Duly Noted author Jorge Arango, you’ll learn workflows for integrating handwritten notes into your digital notes.   Watch Part 2 Watch Part 3  

Key Insights

  • Note-taking is a critical skill that enhances our thinking and cognitive processes.

  • Different types of notes serve different purposes, such as aiding memory or facilitating creative work.

  • The integration of handwritten and digital notes can create powerful workflows.

  • Evergreen notes are important for complex tasks and require a systematic approach for storage and retrieval.

  • Digital notes offer advantages in organization, searchability, and multimolecular capabilities compared to handwritten notes.

  • Handwriting can lead to deeper focus and better retention due to its slower pace.

  • Tags for note management should be minimal and project-focused to avoid over-optimization.

  • Emergent structures in note-taking reflect the dynamic nature of our ideas and thinking processes.

  • Using OCR technology can streamline the process of integrating handwritten notes into digital systems.

  • The ultimate goal of note-taking is to support effective thinking rather than just recording information.
