48 hours online.

Think about the blogs, the podcasts, the social media, that much content.

Our brain, they say we use such a small potential of it.

We use all our brain, but some people use it more efficiently than other people.

So I recommend everybody takes notes of this specific episode because it boosts retention.

People don't realize this.

There's a learning curve, but there's also a forgetting curve.

Science is saying that within two days, just 48 hours of listening to a podcast, reading a book, going to a conference, getting a coaching, 80% of it, up to 80% is lost.

Incredible.

You know, as somebody who's investing time, energy, treasure into something to lose all that, you know, so you want to be able to hold that on.

And so one of the ways of doing it is by taking notes.

And we did a whole episode on proper note taking and really one that's more brain friendly.

Most people, and what they found is the worst way of taking notes actually is verbatim.

Which is the way I take notes.

I used to.

Yeah, verbatim, full transcription.

And they study this at universities because they test people.

People take word for word.

And one of the reasons why is because there's just so much information.

You have 18 pages of word for word.
