Are you wondering if you should rewrite your notes after meetings<\/a>, phone calls, conferences, and other events? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to make the most out of this information sitting in your notebook<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rewriting your notes may not seem like a smart move when it comes to your overall productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is, note revision can save you a lot of time, energy, and resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all comes down to the review process…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find some pointers on the benefits of writing over your notes, as well as a few helpful note-writing tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll actively review your notes.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you take notes and then promptly shove them into a drawer<\/a> or other place, never to read them again? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole point of taking notes is so you can use this information at a later point in time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rewriting your notes gives your mind another chance to grasp information and process it, rather than just passively glancing through the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you read through your notes, see if you can summarize information into bite-sized statements or sentences so it’s easier for you to understand in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can better organize information.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Note taking<\/a> is a fast-paced, and often fleeting process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re concentrating on what\u2019s going on during the presentation\/conversation and trying to capture bits of information for future use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be really difficult to make sense of all this information after the fact when you’ve got facts on one side of a page, quotes <\/a>on another, and a list references to check out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you rewrite your notes, you have the chance to clean up all the information you have and organize<\/a> it into something useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try finding similar pieces of information and concepts in your notes and then group them together for easier reference when you do your rewrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out if you\u2019re missing important information.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You took notes<\/a>, so that must mean you collected every single bit of info during a presentation, meeting or lecture, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, not quite, you might have inadvertently missed something and\/or collected the wrong piece of information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rewriting your notes<\/a> forces you to piece together information and see if everything adds up correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If something looks a bit odd, strange or downright confusing, there’s several things you can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can ask questions, check sources, and do research to ensure you’ve correctly recorded information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
