You don't even know what's most important.

But they found the best way of actually taking notes were more on keywords.

and relevancy.

So for example, one of the ways of taking notes that I recommend is taking a piece of paper and putting a line straight down the page.

And on the left side, what I'm doing is I'm capturing information.

Capturing.

So we could talk about how to remember names and how to read faster and how to learn skills faster, how to change your habits.

That would be on the left-hand column.

You're capturing information.

But on the right side, instead of capturing, you're creating.

What does that mean?

It means that you're writing, you're creating, and you're building on this.

You're putting your impressions.

So essentially, on the left side, you're taking notes, but on the right side, you're making notes.

And there's a clear distinction between just capturing information and actually create the creative process.

Why does that matter?

It matters because if you're, first of all, for focus,

A lot of people, when they're listening to something, their mind will go somewhere else.

They'll get distracted.

So here, instead of it going somewhere else, it goes on the right side of the page, which is, let's say, left side, right brain.
