The art of note taking

Over the years, my note taking has evolved and I developed a system which consists of

• Point of interest: Similar to ordinary bullet points, usually a dot or an asterix.
• Action item: Things that I have to do. I encircle a point of interest to mark it as an action item.
• Done: A check to the left of an action item means that I have completed it.
• Doodles: Help me concentrate and relax. For the concept of "relaxed concentration", see The Inner Game of Tennis.

At work I copy my handwritten notes to OneNote and throw away the physical paper. For personal stuff, I copy them to Google Drive. Below is an example:

• LP - Lost On You
• Enya - Wild Child
