When you hear something on a podcast or you read it in a book, upwards of 80% of it is lost within 48 hours. That can be a challenge, right? And one of the ways to mitigate that obviously is taking notes.

Yes. So digital, you know, is very convenient in terms of storing your notes or sharing your notes with with other people. But in terms of actual learning, understanding, consolidation, handwriting notes outperforms. I like a very simple way of taking notes.
